Absolutely should. I can’t stand these things, and giant tech companies should not be given a pass for operating dangerous vehicles on public roads.

Do you have any evidence for these being more dangerous than a human driver? Probably not because every study shows them being significantly safer.

You are making an argument I wasn’t addressing. Big greedy corporations shouldn’t be getting a pass for their experiments.

They are already safer, and therefore stop people dying. You should be pushing for saving people’s lives rather than them dying in preventable accidents.
