> it's also sad that we need to add to the bureaucracy just to insist that professionals act professionally

That's how bureaucracy and laws form. Individuals (people or companies) do X. The rest of society doesn't like it. They outlaw or regulate it. That's why the rivers no longer catch on fire in the US.

Sure, but I'll note the other companies are self-regulating on this. Regulation tends to slow progress, so what I'd rather see is what places like Waymo are doing: acting like responsible adults so regulation isn't forced upon the whole industry prematurely.
