You build a benchmark and tesla will train on that benchmark, says nothing about real world use but gets them signed off.

But yes western society is currently in a hellscape of refusing to do even basic regulation of any new technology so it'll probably be a good 20 years of murder robots on the streets before anything gets written down.

By “western society” do you mean the US? Because the EU doesn’t seem to have any qualms about regulating new technologies. That seems to be a uniquely American thing.

Which somehow means that Europeans suddenly have headlights that makes sense while we’re over here dying from aftermarket HIDs that should be treated like the VA Highway Patrol treats radar detectors ( rip ‘em out and smash them with a sledgehammer on the side of the road)

To be fair we already have giant metal murder boxes zooming around on the streets. If AI kills even a single person everyone flips out even though over 40,000 people die every year in the US from car accidents. And that is just the deaths, not including injuries. Yet I don't really see anyone calling for more regulations on driving tests for humans.

People want AI to somehow be perfect when in reality as long as AI is even 1% better than humans that's saving over 400 lives per year. AI doesn't get sleepy, distracted, drunk, etc. so it probably already is at least 1% better in most situations. Humans are horrible drivers.

US regulations are only written in blood or money. the united states was built on the backs of slaves, and then wage-slaves. literal graveyards filled with workers.

im not disagreeing with you, i just found this comically disparate to history... ie, its always been a regulation hellscape.

Only the Usamerican country.

We Europeans are scratching our heads already for very long: why are they letting these guys do just everything they want?

Not really. The eu does more than most western nations, but it's generally things that get regulated ten years too late and only a tiny amount compared to what society actually needs. So again, better, massively lax compared to need and comparisons to other periods

We're the whole West. Didn't you know?
