Or have we truly reached the point now where we expect "stable" software to be of the same calibre as beta software so nobody makes a distinction between the two?
The car should be much safer before it goes on the road, regardless of test status. This was a near miss and should be taken extremely seriously by highway safety regulators.

I expect every vehicle on the road to meet a safety standard. I do not accept "beta software" tests on public roads if this is the kind of mistake they can make.
