That is colossally stupid statement, Toyota, Volvo and the big oems have been pushing ADAS features and safety since day 1, with the next logical step being this guardian type of system. Are you saying a company that builds 10 million cars a year has zero incentive to work on active safety?

If you phrased your colossally stupid argument in terms of ISP's....

Are you saying that Comcast, a company that has a monopoly on internet access, has zero incentive to work on increasing bandwidth speeds and lowering prices for end users?

You see how wrong and colossally stupid your argument is, saying that corporations with essentially a monopoly, without incentive, will just happily increase the quality of their product?

Your argument is so wrong and colossally stupid that I feel like Humanity as a whole, has taken a step back due to the ignorance that has happened here today.

Are you really comparing the ISP market to the automotive market?! The global auto market is one of the lowest margin, most competitive markets that exists. You can go out and pick from one of 20 brands in pretty much any segment (cars, trucks, hatchbacks, hybrids etc). Toyota has nowhere near a monopoly on any market except maybe the city that the HQ is in.
