1) All companies testing/marketing anything that suggests autonomy (e.g. "Full Self Driving") must publicly report all disengagements & interventions
1) All companies testing/marketing anything that suggests autonomy (e.g. "Full Self Driving") must publicly report all disengagements & interventions
2) Videos of disengagements & interventions should be uploaded to a public server, since they are already being captured by the cars themselves
3) Testing companies should be required to disclose where these vehicles are being tested, and who they're being tested by

4) All companies should be directly and fully liable for any damage caused by the testing, they should not be allowed to push responsibility off onto testers

6) Companies cannot sell software purporting to be fully autonomous, unless they certify the software as being fully autonomous when sold
7) Comprehensive driver monitoring during testing (e.g. cannot look at phone, eat, etc.)
8) Penalties for non-compliance with the above

These recommendations aim for an level, democratic, and safe playing field, one that's open to public scrutiny and understanding, while still encouraging innovation and development. I hope you might consider them. Thank you for your service. (FIN)
