All of the current gen assisted/self driving tech seems like it's operating in a legal grey area like Uber. Every car manufacturer assumes people are still behind the wheel, and the government is (naively?) going along with it. "By operating this vehicle you agree to..." seems to dissolve them of any responsibility, including around quality of software, and it honestly scares the hell out of me.
I don't know what the fix is for this, the genies out of the bottle here. We won't have reliable self driving cars for years (decades?), and until then we're stuck in this horrible wild west where an off by one error can cause a pileup on the highway.
Let's stop the the assisted/self driving stuff until we have a regulatory framework that can prove the tech works in various conditions, much like seatbelts and collision testing.
