If a company is playing fast and loose with the false negatives rate, drivers and pedestrians will die needlessly, but if they are too strict the car will be undriveable and erratic. Both Tesla and Uber, when faced with this difficult tradeoff, punted: they require a person to watch out for the false negatives, taking the burden off of the machine.
Companies should not be allowed to punt this way, when lives are on the line. This really is a problem in need of a regulatory or legislative solution, as multiple companies prove they don’t have anyone’s interests at heart, but their own. Worse, every pedestrian, cyclist, and other driver on the road who didn’t sign up for this in-the-wild alpha is being drafted to enrich the likes of Tesla and Uber.
