Regulation saves lives. We don't even have to look at the airline industry. Seat belts saved lives. Tailpipe emission controls saved lives. Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot and other Level 2 (partial autonomy) solutions will save lives.

Not always - it has to be appropriate - there are cases where regulation costs lives by locking in suboptimal solutions because the costs to re-certify can be too high.

We need to have the appropriate balance.
