And are you advocating that the public policy be to allow these self driving tests without knowing how reckless they are?

No, I'm saying we should look at the actual data to make a decision to see if they're worse than human drivers and whether potential future payoffs of improved self-drivings are not worth running the experiment any further without modifications. Additionally we should also look at the first derivative, even if the numbers are bad today they might be on a trajectory where they'll be great soon.

So why does Tesla not release the actual data?

That would likely convince the DMV, and opponents. Just think of the win in terms of PR.

[the8472]

They should, no disagreement there. But as outlined above people should also look at such data carefully.
