Re the hyperbole of horse and buggy: What if your pacemaker decides to go to 200 beats per minute late at night.
The cult of ship fast and fix it based on feedback is taking us further from ethical behavior.
Even the lunar lander and other NASA software that received mountains of testing/review has had errors. I don't think it's possible (for a human at least) to design perfect error-free software. And that's before considering hardware faults/failures that do happen in the real world.

I would hate that of course, but I'd rather have the option to get a pacemaker knowing that in rare cases it might kill me. Without the pacemaker option a lot of people would be dead anyway.

I couldn't agree with you more on that one.
Perhaps, have an upper limit for the speed at which these "beta" features are illegal. I don't know why Tesla doesn't support "self driving" feature only at lower speed, where the risk of fatal collisions is lower.
