Once again, if you're going to test your self driving car on public streets, all data should be open and public. Car companies shouldn't be competing on how to prevent life-or-death incidents, they should be cooperating.

Forcing people to tackle the problem from different angles without sharing is the best way to avoid local minimum.

the local minimum is that any single company monopolizes self-driving cars, using the data as a moat.
