You're responsible for what you say and advocate for, especially in a democracy.
Advocating for throwing unproven and unverified technology on the road because you like tech and blindly trust data from a bunch of greedy corporations absolutely makes you partially responsible for every death that occurs due to this technology.
I've watched 5 hours + of unedited footage of tesla self driving mode driving in all kinds of places. It's really amazing what it can do. It's getting better at such a rapid rate I have no doubt that it will surpass the top 1% of human drivers. It's already surpassed the average driver.
Me talking about this does not make me responsible for every death that occurs from the technology. The only person responsible is the lawmakers that allow it on the road. It seems to me that a lot of journalists are exaggerating the dangers because they don't like Musk. This in turn convinces a lot of people that these cars are on the loose causing so many accidents. I am happy for ai to cause some road accidents while the technology grows. It's not like the roads have 0 deaths at the moment.
