Cops are like M$ Windows: the more you know about them the more you realize they should be avoided unless there is no alternative.
This part is definitely true. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I don't know, it's really unusual because the LLM could be trainedon the DMV handbook, and it will pass the test.
But that's different, because the LLM portion of the AI isn't connected to the driving AI. So you would want to devise a test that shows the car knows how to handle situations, whether it can answer them in words or not.

It's an extremely effective rhetorical technique. Conflate what is happening now with what is possible in the future, and most people will not notice the difference, even if "now" and "future" were clearly delineated in your statements (thus making your statement absolutely factual).

also that means JPEGs a 50% compression and DVD encodes of BluRays should be totally legal for anyone to sell.
I know you're trying to point out contradictions in the law, but...
You're going to have a hard time convincing a judge or jury that the law should be interpreted this way.

Sam Altman is a fine, upstanding young man with not a hint of deception in his bones. He would never lie, cheat, steal, infringe copyright, engage in corporate espionage, abuse his sister, lie to the board, or anything remotely unethical. When Aaron Schwartz said that Sam Altman couldn't be trusted, of course he was being sarcastic.

You do have to take a written driving test though, which covers things like this.
Of course, an LLM could pass the written test, but you'd want to have a way to ensure that the things written in the driver's manual are things that the self-driving car can handle.

Imagine a future where each student has an AI tutor, precisely matched to the student's talents and weaknesses.
That sounds amazing, but it's still in the future.

There's an edge case here or an edge case there where something didn't work as expected.
Construction zones and first responders are not an edge case, they are a well-known case. Also, stopping for school busses.
there's really nothing they can do to prevent the car from behaving the wrong way in some vague unspecified future situation that nobody has thought of yet
This isn't an edge case that no one has thought of.
what AV companies will do to prevent bad interactions with emergency vehicles will always be "exactly what we're already doing"
If you turn your brain on, you can think of other solutions. Something like, "have a safety driver."
