Semantics. It's literally the same thing, just called something different.
It's not, because data is collected forever. By that definition testing never ends and we talk past each other about the meaning of words.
There's a review process. Drugs go through stages of steadily growing numbers of volunteers, but after that the test is over.
That's what I'd want. Phase 1, these vehicles are tested on private land by highly skilled voluneers. Stage 2, they're tested on private land by laypersons. Phase 3, they're tested on a wide (but limited!) scale across selected public roads and highways.
And then testing is done. At no point is someone subjected to being tested against their will, they always have the ability to opt out. After that they'll still collect data, but it's not an experiment anymore because they're already generally recognized as safe by regulators.
Sure, if that makes you feel better
I'll only feel better if we build rail. This stupid car shit is killing us.
