Agreed on the TV - but everything else? Oh hell no. It's bad enough that we seem to have decided it's fine that multi-billion dollar corporations can just use public roads as testbeds for their "self driving" technology, but at least these corporations and their insurances can be held liable in case of an accident. Random Joe Coder however who thought it'd be a good idea to try and work on their own self driving AI and cause a crash? In doubt his insurance won't cover a thing. And medical devices are even worse.
