>They want people to feel safe.

"Lawful to a fault teenager" is not what people want in a taxi driver. That type of chauffeur doesn't make people feel safe. It makes them on edge. But unfortunately that's the kind of AI chauffeur regulators want.

I agree it's the "right" way to do it from a PR perspective though.

They don't drive like teenagers do (the Tesla FSD does, but that's another story).

A Waymo drives more like a 50 year old who's seen some shit and drives well but defensively.
