Highly doubtful it appears. They are trying to deregulate any check on them so they don't have to spend as much on product safety, or guarding the environment. Just to become richer, because, as I asked Google last month, greed knows no bounds.
Like a headline I just read on news about Tesla. It said something about it's stock rising..., for what reason? It was that rules regarding self driving were being relaxed with regard to accident reporting. It wasn't because Musk and Tesla finally decided that they'd employ lidar, along with cameras to make them safer. It allows for more accidents ffs. Musk doesn't give a flying f*ck about who gets hurt. It's all about the money. So, he can put more dangerous cars on the road, and just eliminate a huge expense, human drivers.
At any rate, it's the people on the margins who will be hurt the most. I guess it is up to the rest to fight for something better for everyone. Too bad there has been a "globalization of indifference ", as Pope Francis put it. Noone cares enough to lift a finger. It's pretty obvious the USA isolating itself will further intensify this truth. There are protests, but I mean really, what change are they making? If they get bigger, the felon will just squash them. I think the next president will likely be either Musk, or maybe Don jr. lol.
