They did find two scenarios in which human-driven cars were safer: at dawn/dusk and when turning. Going forward and going in reverse?
But (more) seriously folks - hearing they're less safe when turning does not give me confidence in them.
I also would really like to see some numbers for autonomous driving when the road markings are not clearly visible (aka winter driving, or even spring with the sand on the side of the road)

Dawn/dusk - Autonomous vehicles need sunglasses and clean sensors. These are the two biggest problems when the sun is low in the sky.
I suspect Tesla's FSD, which is the only non-geofenced system on the road today, would pass the driving test in most jurisdictions.

I suspect they'll drop it once they figure out that they are legislating Pi (Indiana Pi Bill).
Then we just have to teach the new lawmakers every 5 years the same basics of encryption so they don't try to do the same thing.
It just doesn't matter. Unless we really want to give up writing/installing any app we want, these people would just use a different app or some weird unknown homebrew/darkweb stuff.
Just push firmware/OS trojans to suspected specific devices (with warrants or judicial say-so).
And/or
Do like the FBI did with their ultimate drug dealer cellphones and spin-up some services purpose-built to snare these folks and target market those apps to suspects.

This keeps coming up. Europe and the US are both horrible at this. As far the "it's for the children" claim, this claim has been used to destroy more personal freedoms than any other single claim in the history of western civilization. Anytime you hear it, be very, very wary of the goal here as it's never for the children, but rather it's to control you.

I've definitely interacted with an LLM driven helper chat bot, maybe a few of them, just in the last month or two.
Amongst other stuff... I've had to talk to Amazon about subscriptions and refunds, ISPs about new service provision, and an insurer about benefits/coverage details and in/out of network providers.
The biggest indicators for me were near-perfect spelling and grammar along with not being able to help without transferring me to a person. I don't think 80% of people would have noticed. In one instance I'm pretty sure the service provider was aiding the subterfuge by giving the chatbot an Indian name. I found that a little bit humorous. "No you are not talking to a robot! You're talking to a support agent in another country to whom we've outsourced our support staff."
But all of them worked more or less flawlessly and were at most only 1/2 as frustrating as the phone systems where you have to repeatedly press buttons or keep saying agent, person, real person, live agent, etc to get a warm body.
