This is besides the point, but your example about Tesla rolling back their autopilot assertiveness to comply with the law made me realize a hidden risk of automation: it makes laws actually enforceable. The perhaps most important civilizational defense against bureaucracy clogging up its arteries, common-sense non-compliance, is being removed. This is a terrible precedent and made self-driving technology much less appealing to me all of a sudden.
