> Bananas how we're letting these companies use public roads with real humans as testing grounds for driver assistance software. Do you know a word called Cronyism? Xi was in a meeting with few Chinese tech leaders just few weeks ago (https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-xi-attends-symposium-private-enterprises-delivers-speech-2025-02-17/ https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-xi-attends-sympos...), including Xiaomi's leader, probably trying to establish bi-directional support and connections. Under current desperate climate in China, i.e. unemployment number is creeping up, marriage and childbirth are down..., as well as the fact that Xi likes flashy and fancy stuff, I don't think there is any incentive for the gov to put a limit on how those companies develop. I mean... it's not like the leftist undemocratic communist should have any incentive to do things appropriately for people of different orientations anyways. In fact, right now in China, criticize such "high-tech" company may lead to serious trouble for the criticizer, given how easy it is for powerful companies to send criticizers to prison for reasons such as "disturb public peace", "hacking" and/or "spread rumor and lies". Also, let's don't forget Telsa also crash and burns. So it is really tricky to explain to the communist why they must do better.
