Would you trust a self-signed certificate?

Given the sort of questions and sample code I see in QA, then no way.

Well, if you don't send them the codez they ask for, it's really your own fault!

Have you seen my code?

While I certainly enjoy manual driving, the move to self-driving vehicles simply has more pros than cons. Generations to either side of me are the worst drivers, so I want those safety risks removed.

Anyone using a phone on the street Pedestrians I trust in the darkness of winter:
Me with free-hanging reflectors from both right and left pockets.
Anyone with free-hanging reflectors from both right and left pockets.
Anyone with reflector strips attached to their clothing.
Anyone carrying a lit flashlight/torch.
Anyone wearing a wristband with two tiny flashing LEDs.
Anyone without any sort of reflector or flashlight.
I can't possibly fathom how anyone who has been driving in a car, even as a passenger, in darkness along an unlit road would ever dare to walk it in the darkness without a reflector, in particular if there are no sidewalks. Yet it happens all the time (in spite of public campaigns every fall). To me, that is sort of a suicide attempt...
I wonder if these self-driving cars have been trained to recognize as a person a brigth flashing plastic tag, 10 cm across, easily noticed from 200 meters distance when the high beam of your car hits it.

If all cars were suddenly self-driving, we might have a chance of making it work.
But as long as there's a mix of human drivers and self-driving cars on the same roads at the same time...the self-driving cars are in a difficult position to account for the stupidity of the human drivers.

This is my answer everytime I get asked the same.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I don't get asked. I just butt into these random discussions with my opinions.

I do get asked... (working for car related companies for a while)

Anyone who wants an honest answer should be asking a software developer, not a car company.
(but then, if you work for one, you have the benefit of seeing it from both perspectives...and it sounds like you're agreeing with my response)

Rails.
If that's what we were going for, it would mostly be a solved problem already.

I had a "slot car" racing set I won from Kellogg's in a coloring contest. It still took skill to "keep it in the slot". Take the back pin out and you could do donuts.
Anyway, at some point, there had been a discussion about "burying things in the road"; i.e. virtual slots.

Elon's already taking it way deeper with his Boring Company. Given that he's also already working on self-driving cars, I'm sure he's got something in mind...

I'm quite sure he's going for the Golgafrincham solution.
He will be sending all the people that buys his cars. Already sent one.
