How about not testing it on the unpaid public in incremental patches like this age of software "engineering" has decided it was a good idea to do?

You ultimately have to at some stage, since any test track is a biased test by its nature.

It is more an issue of how sophisticated these vehicles should be before they're let loose on public roads. At some stage they have to be allowed onto public roads or they'd literally never make it into production.

"Never making it into production" sounds like the perfect outcome for this technology.

Then make the officers of the company stake their lives on this, not the lives of innocent pedestrians.

If they're not willing to dogfood their own potential murder machines then why should the public trust them on the public roads?
