Just like the existing uniform state run test that shows how all licensed human drivers are safe? It shouldn't need to be pointed out how any kind of standardized test isn't going to prove or even realistically evaluate the safety of a system like this. We can't even get a standardized test for GPU performance that manufacturers don't cheat on.
> The test would also measure how the computer driven car reacts when one or all of its sensors are damaged.
I do agree with this, though: we already expect cars to behave well in the face of hardware failures. Autonomous or no, cars should have requirements for failure modes.
It's unfortunate that the National Electrical Code doesn't exist. In fact, it is unfortunate that we can't possibly have national regulations for anything at all. If only this were possible.
