How many businesses volunteer themselves to be subject to regulation that doesn't apply to them, especially when that regulation gives their competitors insights into the company's R&D capabilities?

Tesla has sold over 50k Model 3s in California in 2018[1]. Regulators would be ridiculous if they put more value in the data from 111 Waymo vehicles compared to the data from tens of thousand of Tesla vehicles.

And once again, I am not saying Tesla is leading here or has superior technology. But people like you are letting their bias against Musk and Tesla cloud their judgement on this issue.

So you are saying instead if running the required test vehicles with trained drivers in California like Waymo does Tesla is running unsupervised Beta tests with 50k cars? For self-driving? Not sure if that's how new cars are certified...
