I haven't seen anyone from Tesla or Uber going to jail when people died because they're beta testing autonomous cars on public roads.

As cold and cynical it is, what the self-driving car "pioneers" are doing -- it's not nearly as reckless (and flat-out clueless) as what this guy did.

It is far more reckless to expose everyone in the public to your murder machines than one hapless contractor.

We don't allow people to drive without seatbelts because of the risk of them losing control and causing avoidable fatalities but half-baked autonomous machines vaguely guessing about what might be in front of them are perfectly ok?

Do Teslas on autopilot kill more people than regular cars? Murder machines seems a bit hyperbole, no?
