Because lying is not risky for companies. Not unless there is also a regulation and enforcement punishing them if they overdo it.
Lying can help you for years and years.
Actual safety is visible only in long term and again, abset neutral parties and data able to verify it does not matter. You get further by lying about safety. And those neutral parties can exist only if there is regulation.
- simianwords 1y agoThat’s crazy! Who said lying is not risky for companies? You need to build brand trust when there is a lot of competition especially in the case of self driving where safety is of maximum concern. People are already skeptical and would look out for signals on such things. You can’t keep things hidden for too long - word would spread that some cars are actually unsafe. In general it is simply more simple and sustainable to not lie. Some times things fall through the cracks and you get problems like you see on Tesla.
- watwut 1y agoSelf driving is actually nice example of situation where lies about safety worked nicely for years. And where they are breaking up, it is not because of lies, but because of politics. > Who said lying is not risky for companies? Practical results. Lying works, unless there is regulation, lawsuit or something like that.
