That’s fine and all, but who’s going to volunteer to die for no fault of their own, just to progress science? Heck, what if it isn’t even someone who signed up for the FSD beta but just a random bystander the car decided to run over.

You’re missing the point: Random bystanders are run over by human drivers all the time. But when a human driver makes a mistake, we can’t analyze what happened and push out an update to everyone else.

That’s fine, but you can’t sign people up for medical trials just because people die from diseases anyway. You don’t get to force other people into becoming Guinea pigs for science.

Unfortunately or not, this is exactly what Deaths per X miles driven statistics actually are. And that’s the statistic set at the base of automotive safety policy decision making.
