It has been said that the progression toward fully autonomous cars was slowed down when the complexity required was fully realized. However, one should not underestimate the driving forces behind different business models and the impact of legislation. For the investments toward fully autonomous cars to pay off, there needs to be a market drive, implying that customers need to be asking for the service. This can happen either due to new legislation (as was the case with seat belts and airbags) or due to establishing a benefit that the new technology has. Paying for continued safety or for not being injured is a business model few can pull off. Further, autonomous vehicles aim at providing safety not only for their owners but also for vulnerable road users, which, e.g., may prevent the cars from speeding outside a school. When considering the comments the U.S. government received regarding the notice of proposed rulemaking to mandate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology on all light-duty vehicles, in 2017, I would argue that many customers are behaving like teenagers, being annoyed with their parents, the vehicle manufacturers, who want to enable safety by enforcing traffic regulations.

立法是否应该规定确切的技术选择？[联网和自动驾驶汽车]

有人说，当所需的复杂性得到充分认识时，全自动驾驶汽车的进程就会放缓。然而，我们不应低估不同商业模式背后的驱动力和立法的影响。为了让对全自动驾驶汽车的投资获得回报，需要有市场驱动力，这意味着客户需要要求这项服务。这可能是由于新的立法（如安全带和安全气囊的情况）或由于确立了新技术的好处而发生的。为持续安全或不受伤买单是一种很少有人能成功的商业模式。此外，自动驾驶汽车旨在不仅为车主提供安全，也为弱势道路使用者提供安全，例如，这可能会阻止汽车在学校外超速行驶。
