    Corporations only have incentive to suppress results that don’t help them. This is why unless some third party evaluator (such as a gov agency) should be recieving automotive data separately for evaluation.

    Car companies could easily send encrypted camera data to a third party data holder that both the client and company can decrypt - this would prevent the goverment from decrypting this data en mass - and when the car violates a law or crashes it could be decrypted by either party.

      My thinking is similar, as long as these type of systems - which can directly kill the public - are developed by purely commercial interests with no oversight, they will always do the minimum safety measures to get the $. For some reason a car plowing into people is more palatable than a plane crashing out of the sky.
