Indeed. My point is: so why focus on regulation that targets <0.1% of traffic fatalities?
Here's an alternative idea that would save a lot more lives:
Take the camera-based driver attention monitoring that works in my seven year-old Tesla, which notices IMMEDIATELY if I look away from the windshield for more than a second or two, and then require that in the human-driven cars.
Estimates for annual deaths in the US from distracted driving are between 3,250 and 12,400. An in-cabin camera is not expensive or specialty hardware. The tech is there, the costs are low. We could save a lot of lives!
If we're ignoring that to focus on Tesla's FSD, the goal is not sensible regulation or saving lives.
