That and also the fact that (in spite of their usefulness) LLMs still so often do incredibly dumb shit without thinking of the consequences that the idea of having them drive in public is absurd.

Recently was using claude code/opus 5 to diagnose an intermittent wi-fi connection problem and one of the first things it did was to bring the adapter down. The wi-fi adapter was the only way the system was communicating with the outside world so claude effectively disconnected its own brain as step 1 in figuring out what was going wrong. Things did not progress well from there. Easy enough to clean up its mess in this case, but luckily it wasn't driving a heavy killing machine at the time.
