Only the US government can allow corporations to beta test unproven technology on the public.

Governments should carry out comprehensive tests on a self-driving car's claimed capabilities. This is the same as cars without proven passenger safety (Euro NCAP) aren't allowed to be on roads carrying passengers.

Meh. Happens all around the world. Even if the product works there is no guarantee that it will be safe.

Asbestos products are a good example of this. A more recent one is Teflon made with PFOAs or engineered stone like Caesarstone.
