The onus is on the replacement to prove itself.

Manual driving is the status quo.

Tesla would like to replace that with FSD. (And make a boatload of money as a result)

My point is that we therefore can (and should!) hold Tesla to higher standards.

'Better than human' as a bar invites conflict of interest, because at some point Tesla is weighing {safety} vs {profit}, given that increasing safety costs money.

If we don't severely externally bias towards safety, then we reach a point where Tesla says 'We've reached parity with human, so we're not investing more money in fixing FSD glitches.'

And furthermore, without mandated reporting (of the kind Musk just got relaxed), we won't know at scale.
