Sorry. You have regulations you can think of that prevent accidents by professional drivers? Trucking is already insanely regulated and still sees all sorts of corner cutting and safety violations. And even in ostensibly safe companies, accidents happen. It’s near impossible to simultaneously compete on cost and have safety - squeezing margins is at odds with following the rules (and that’s assuming a huge leap that the rules actually are helpful - very often no analysis is done on the ROI of any particular investment).
No I'm specifically addressing OPs point about drivers pulling 14 hour shifts - that's easily regulated everywhere. Anything beyond that is your interpretation.
>>It’s near impossible to simultaneously compete on cost and have safety
....airlines exist and compete on cost with extremely stringent safety requirements?
That regulations should be strict and they should be followed strictly. If you live somewhere where they are not enforced then that's not a problem of regulation. But I also don't know why we moved onto this topic from me saying that robotaxis shouldn't be allowed. I got the impression that the argument was that they should because they are competing against overworked Uber drivers pulling 14 hour shifts - to which I'll say again that Uber drivers doing 14 hour shifts isn't some unmovable law of the universe, it can and should be prevented.
