I think if there is a large enough penalty for crashes then the car companies would take quality more serious, if the costs are too low I can see them pushing updates with just a few hours of testing,

There is also the issue with adversarial inputs to the AI, you could have someone put stickers everywhere that would crash the AI .

The penalty only works after someone has been caught at it once (it seems clear to me these companies aren’t proactive about his stuff).

That ‘once’ could be One (or many) very bad accidents.

‘Company X fines $750m for incident where they caused 250 car crashes and 478 deaths’ is not a headline I want to see.
