I was assured last week that things like this are fine and we should be responsible adults by settling for "good enough" when it comes to self-driving cars.
But I would note that we are already settling for "good enough" by letting those responsible adults cause 6 million accidents and 40,000 deaths.
Tesla's Autopilot is worse. But people aren't great.
I hold out a tiny modicum of hope that the cars will get better. If not Elmo's version, then somebody's. Because the people are not getting better, and are arguably getting worse.
