    I’d be willing to bet you l3 systems, limited to highway miles, have a better track record than humans, especially in long hauls.

      Ideally, sure.

      Companies: “They’re safe! Trust us! It’s a total coincedence that we have a huge profit motive in them being you thinking they’re safe!”

        This is somewhat controlled via insurance though. There is a built in financial incentive to reduce insurance without paying billions for the software.

        I’m sure it’ll be abused and challenged at some point but this isn’t something I’d lose sleep over IMO.
