The same argument would justifies human medical experiments, and we know they actually work, and result in faster access to improved drugs and vaccines.

Unlike autopilot which could still be crappy after 10 years

Yet we have made them illegal after some rather nasty precedents. Seems like hsitory repeats itself

I think the difference is that human medical experiments immediately cause suffering at a higher rate than whatever disease they're trying to fix.

I believe that there have been studies showing that today's "self driving" cars are already statistically safer than regular cars.
