Its not clear to me that a general purpose autonomous car can be developed in a vaccum as you mention. Tesla has all the resources in the world to test with their own drivers on closed loops and using simulations however they choose to go this route and open themselves up to significant liability. Given the pace of development of other autonomous cars I think this may be the only viable approach.

What? How many people do you think we should sacrifice on the altar of technological progress? And why wouldn't they get a say in that?
Agree, but I think this boils down to a disagreement over at what point a FSD beta is ready for public testing.
