Your work buddy isn't wrong with that tbh
The thing is humans are horrible drivers, costing a huge toll in lives and property every year.
True
We may already be at the point where we need to deal with the ethics of inadequate self-driving causing too many accidents vs human causing more.
Are you talking about waymo vs human driver? It's currently (and maybe never) economical to roll that out globally. That would cost trillions and probably wouldn't even be feasible everywhere.
Teslas aren't autonomous but just mere driving assistants so you can't compare them. Otherwise you'd also have to include the Mercedeses (which btw have the first commercial Level 3 car), BMWs, BYDs, ...
but is it ethical to block Immature technology if it does overall save lives?
It would be very unethical to allow companies to profit from dangerous and unsafe technology that kills people.
Presumably we have the intelligence to set requirements before something can be called self-driving
We already have that https://www.sae.org/blog/sae-j3016-update
I get what you mean but it's still stuck at level 2 and it always will be. No matter how good it is, if you move your eyes from the road, it will eventually kill you. Cameras alone are not sufficient enough for autonomous driving.

It's going to be a disaster. Tesla "FSD" is glorified cruise control on level 2 on the autonomous driving scale.
semi
It's already a disaster. The economics don't add up and the few on the road break down all the time.
That's cool! Definitely have to check it out.
Me too! What do you think we can do to get more people to join the Fediverse?
As a result, I am just asking follow-on questions to further discern what makes Element preferable.
If you are against a change in the first place you won't switch, anyway.
There are people who love them, but when people ask about them, they don't offer any really informative data to support why they like them.
Please, ask.
What makes Element (matrix) a secure platform, and how does that differ from telegram or signal or whatever. Like. What is matrix good at? That's what I'm asking. Why suggest it over something else?
Simple. It's fully free and open source. The server as well as the apps. Therefore, you can trust it as a privacy friendly solution a heck of a lot more, than any other solution like WhatsApp.
Signal is secure as well, but the server is centralized.
And Telegram is not considered secure because of their implementation and shady practices.
Why does it need to be unfederated?

Mobile Apps need an API too.
