Every year, a hundred thousand people in the world die in car related incidents.
Every last one of these deaths are preventable. And every year that politicians delay this technology, is 100 thousand more people dead that could have been saved.
They delay it even when it clearly doesn't break the law. The laws on lane assist and cruise control are clear. This stuff is already deployed to tens of thousands of Tesla cars, that are on the road right now.
I do not work for Uber, if that is what you are insinuating (although I have received recruiting emails, as I am a SF web developer. I don't really like their intense work environment.).
I "merely" care a lot about the 100 thousand people that politicians, ignorant of the law, are killing every year.
