The practical question of implementation only becomes relevant when
there's agreement about the goal.
No new technology has ever - EVER - followed that path. There will be
no agreement about goals, no agreement about anything. People will get
on with implementing stuff, using thousands of different "benchmarks",
while the law and regulators follow years behind.

From Musk himself:
“Regulators may require some significant margin above human capability in order
for a full autonomy to be engaged,” said Musk. “They may say it needs to be 50
percent safer, 100 percent safer, 1000 percent safer, I don’t know. I’m not
sure they know either.”

“Now that the foundation of the Tesla vision neural net is right, which was an
exceptionally difficult problem, as it must fit into far less computing power
than is typically used, we expect a rapid rollout of additional functionality
over the next several months, and are progressing rapidly towards our goal of a
coast-to-coast drive with no one touching the
controls.”https://www.inverse.com/article/38049-elon-musk-self-driving-autopilot-tesla
If we truly want to examine accidents involving autonomous vehicles,
then there's far more to learn from this:
Las Vegas police officer Aden Ocampo-Gomez said the truck’s driver was at fault
for the crash ...

The autonomous shuttle could have avoided the accident, but wasn't
programmed to back away from the hazard. In the lab staying still
probably seemed safer, but it assumed the human driver was paying attention.
Nobody really knows what we're doing, but we _are_ doing it. Some will
huddle in a corner, whimpering. Others will get on with the job.
