I think it would be great if the technology was more mature, and there was proper accountability for the negative consequences. I think we need a conservative approach npw, where the CEO of the companies pushing self driving are personally held liable for manslaughter if someone dies due to an error.
I don't believe either of those will happen.
Yep. Instead of a conservative approach to new technology the US uses a Conservative approach to new technology which means no regulation and costs born by the populace. No privacy, health outcomes, safety recalls...all to foster "innovation". We're basically just lab rats without rights and the now-being-actively-dismantled veneer of protections.
Pretty much this. Ever wonder how so many people got killed and mangled during the Industrial Revolution? You're about to find out.
