Yes. And the old Automotive Safety Council had to step in to force manufactures to provide safety features, such as horns, adequate brakes on all four wheels and eventually seat belts which manufactures vociferously opposed as unneeded expenses, even if the costs WERE passed on to the buyers! AI will be with us forever, but it shouldn't be a "no holds barred" innovation without some kind of oversight!
I remember the great controversy about mandating seatbelt use. "People will be trapped in their cars and drown or be burned alive!"
I also remember the controversy about airbags, something the auto industry fought right to the end. I wonder how many people died needlessly while companies were fighting to keep them out of cars.
