If you think I’m wrong, let me put you in the path of a Tesla at speed at night with low contrast. Best case, I’m wrong. I’m fine being wrong. There is no shame in being wrong, only in ignoring facts and data. Worst case, you’re dead and no one cares. I don’t want this for you, and you shouldn’t want this for you either.
Do you feel lucky? You can supply the Tesla or I can (I have a Model S, X, and Y, all upgraded to the latest self driving hardware). If you’re a believer, I’ll give you the opportunity to put your faith in your savior. Again, I do not recommend, but I believe in free will.

If you don’t believe in it, just say “I’m going to advocate for it because of my belief system and feelings but I don’t trust it myself.” That’s far more intellectually honest then “I believe in it enough to aggressively defend it publicly but won’t stand in front of the car because I don’t actually trust it.”
You can still be right that Tesla vision only system are more dangerous, but your experimental challenge proves nothing because the cars are already live driving in the real world under poor conditions.
