Wow. Pretty big mess up. Standard new cars have auto-breaking that prevents these types of accidents. Clearly their AI is not only weak, but sub-par when compared to standard, non-AI technologies that have been on the market for 4+ years.

There should be a regulation to trying to technologies out on public roads.

The video doesn't say where this happened, but e.g. in California Phantom AI holds the required license, has to report incidents and might lose their permit if found violating the regulations for autonomous testing. (https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/vr/autonomous/testi...)
