I dunno, I think “even today, the software isn’t safe for public road use” is pretty clear-cut and has nothing to do with the level of automation.
I’m not suggesting anyone else is way ahead though. But I do think that removing all non-visual sensors is an obvious step back, especially in poor weather where visibility may be near zero, but other sensors types could be relatively unimpeded.

Keep in mind this isnt even a quote and was attributed to someone who doesn’t even work on this tech for the company. What has you convinced it’s unsafe for use now? A few car accidents? What about all the accidents that have been prevented using this same system? You might suggest a ban but if the crash rate or fatality rate increases, haven’t you made conditions less safe on the road?
The problem with articles like this is they focus on things like “Tesla has experienced 50 crashes in the last 5 years!!” but they don’t include context like the fact that cars without these systems have crash rates 10x higher or more. These systems can still be a net benefit even if they don’t work 100% of the time or prevent 100% of crashes.
