Let's say we ban development of self-driving cars since the algos can't be explained.

That's a false dilemma since it's by no means proven that the algos CAN'T be explained - just that we don't know how to extract the explanation from the model yet. It's entirely reasonable to suspend real-world use until the maths catches up.

But we would never reap the benefits in the meantime. That was my main point. And this becomes crucial if the saving of deaths from accident is substantial as compared to deaths that happen due to AI errors.
