The problem with the above is that you are mistaking "yourself" for "the market."

"Everyone isn't doing what I want them to, obviously 'the market' is broken."

Hearst did a media blitz against Hemp, only the papers called it by it's Spanish name "Marijuana" and claimed it made Mexican immigrants violent, Blacks disrespectful (they would look a White man in the eye!!), and made White Women want to have sex with Blacks.

And they'll eat your pets, believe me, everyone says so.

Are you implying more would go out in bad weather if they had a robo-car?

This kills me. Instead of a "simple" (I realize that e.g. a google search is not all that simple) database query, we have an LLM that does the query for you, then analyzes it, and redisplays the output (making it thousands of times more computationally expensive) but now you are suggesting that the chatbot control a VM or similar and perform the steps as if it were a human, adding millions of times more overhead. It's mind boggling.

Conspiracy theory: the "anyone" doing the promoting is already affected by the product they're hawking and it's trying to spread.

I assure you that the existence of these things does not mean you want to have to deal with actually exercising your rights under them, and that you're stupid if you don't go over the exact vehicle you're buying before signing anything. And that going-over includes "driving" the thing.

You have to be talking about Europe or something, because most people buying new cars in the US are buying off the lot. Dealers order vehicles with option packages most likely to appeal to a broad set of customers or designed to maximize their sales. Some people do order the exact vehicle they want, of course, but they're the minority.

"A double standard between humans and bots"

"At least as safe as a (prudent) human" seems like a reasonable standard to shoot for as a floor, presuming the vendor is willing to accept liability when their "as good as a human" system is at fault in an accident.

This a BMW thing? I've only bought three new cars in my life, but I test drove the exact vehicle I purchased. Why would you drive a different car?

The same place he's been for the last quarter century: dead. You're picking on the wrong Kennedy scion.

...coding models? Are they comparable to the expensive ones?

I want a refund on my See Instant Crater event tickets! They costed me half a bitcoin, dammit!

Musk: "Stupid woke moon, eh, should be locked up or given correctional therapy to, eh, put it into a business-friendly orbit. It's in a socialist orbit right now. Put the socialists in orbit instead, heh heh heh."

Snow, rain, fog, changes in roads, construction, flooding.

Humans fuck those up also. It's just that traffic fortunately tends to be light during bad weather so that our screwups have limited impact. During the last heavy rain I drove in at night I probably made 10+ traffic violations because I couldn't see the damned lines. Fortunately there weren't a lot of other cars around to be co-confused with: the wise stayed home.

And if there is traffic in bad weather, such as work commutes, one just typically follows the person in front of them. If they by chance drove off a cliff I'd probably follow them down. So we have rules-of-thumb that mostly save us, but are highly imperfect.
