How do we make the eventual evolution from faux self-driving to full self-driving if not through incremental improvements?

I'm far from an expert on the subject, but I assume real data must be acquired for that to happen.

You raise the bar of what you need to deliver which will change your approach, and don’t ship products that aren't ready.

It seems to me that delaying self-driving cars for any appreciable amount of time will lead to more deaths/injuries, not fewer.

You're assuming that the quickest route to safest auto-driving lies via incremental improvements to existing systems and that's not necessarily true; see: AlphaGoZero

Fair point. I think a game with specific rules is probably better suited to the self-learning process that AlphaGo uses, whereas real-world driving rules are much more complex and nuanced. But I think it's still something worth considering.
