Well then you'd be talking about autonomous busses and taxis, stuff that operates "for hire" like commercial aircraft, not people "driving" their own autonomous cars.


You are right, regulation is lax. Regulation is the last thing that people seen to want or will vote for. It's a catch 22. People will be literally dying from their freedom, but they'd rather have that then regulation to keep them safe. It is what it is.
Unless autonomous cars (or planes) start killing people left and right. Look at telsa sentiment right after the first famous death when the truck crossed the road in front, sentiment was way down. Look at boeing sentiment after the 747 max had issues (software but not self driving). The approval ratings of these fluctuate and are not always rosy. But that said people dont always find more regulation as the best way to solve it.
