Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Some technical challenges still exist, but more importantly they are legible. Regulators (and voters) can point to specific deficiencies and failures, which are used to justify stronger regulations and delays.
If we said that a self-driving system would be treated equal to a human driver (mandatory insurance, pass a driving test, etc.), then I bet we would have several competing companies, all of which would pay lower insurance rates than average humans because they would crash less.
Instead, we have ridiculous debates like "should it swerve to hit one pedestrian, or brake to hit five jaywalkers" holding up the process.
