Fair enough.

But if you think this line of reasoning through, cars should have never been admitted on the road in the first place.

The issue I see is lack of transparency. If the % of accidents that can be avoided is provably much higher than those caused by Tesla's self-driving tech, an informed argument could be made in favor or against.

But with Tesla withholding the information in the leak there is just FUD around the whole issue instead of facts.

no, no they shouldn't have. At least not without tesla taking full accountability and liability for every accident on autopilot.

other manufacturers are slowly rolling out more self driving like tech, AND taking on liability.

Since GP hasn't responded yet...I think you missed their point. When they said "if you think this line of reasoning through, cars should have never been admitted on the road in the first place," I think they're referring to all cars. When Ford introduced the Model T, it killed plenty of people. Ford was, in your words, "harming lives to pursue this." In the process it revolutionized transportation.
