Doing it right is asking whether you want it installed, not forcing it on you.
Yes, because users understand those kinds of choices.

"Past performance is no guarantee of future returns" applies to any recorded dataset.
Not to recorded datasets, particularly. For example, that's the reason to think the sun will rise tomorrow morning - it always has.

There's no reason why Python (compiled from Rust) would be any slower than Python (compiled from C). Both languages compile to native executable code, and both have good optimizers available.

They hired some uninspired losers to lead their self-driving efforts. They basically were weak, looked into it and figured it's impossible.

And human drivers are NOT, "on average, really bad".
That is true, but it's a little more complicated than that.
The average driver is pretty good, 99.9% of the time. The other 0.1% of the time, they are tired, or angry, or momentarily distracted, or just looking the other direction from where they need to be looking under those particular circumstances. It's those occasional blips of inattention that cause lead to most accidents occurring.
