Seems like you're still grappling with your own stance on the issue.
Perhaps I’m simple, but I’m pretty sure the people who dropped $10k on full self driving “in a year” or “in the future” in their Tesla model S in 2017 got fleeced. Tesla sold access to a product that doesn’t exist, and never delivered it. Uber sold a business model to stupid investors that doesn’t exist to justify breaking other laws.
That doesn’t mean that the long running Google work in the field, etc is a scam. That doesn’t mean that working on self driving is unethical. Ripping off people is.
