We need to have fewer executives talking about their awesome safe technology and more executives being forced to use their awesome safe technology.

It is extremely unfortunate that as the condition of the permit the DMV did not force dogfooding requiring that every executive of a company applying for driverless robo-taxi permit and executives' families, including their children, were mandated to give up their drivers licenses and all other modes of transportation ensuring that those executives and those executives families are the constant test subjects of the technology.

Same goes for the likes of Musk.
