Wow seems dangerous and inefficient can't wait to see them on US streets.

The US has the NHTSA (at least, for now), which doesn't stand for shenanigans like this. And the two market leaders in autonomous vehicles (Waymo, Zoox) actually take safety seriously, unlike others (Tesla, RIP Cruise).

Well, it’s likely the DOGE cuts haven’t shown their impact just yet.

Of roughly 30 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration workers dismissed in February as part of Musk’s campaign to shrink the federal workforce, many were in the “office of vehicle automation safety,” — Car safety experts at NHTSA, which regulates Tesla, axed by DOGE

Personally, I’m sort of hoping for the same karma as when Elaine Chao was secretary of transportation and let Tesla roll out an untested and confusing shifting system, which later helped kill her sister.
