There’s a reason we have ethical standards when conducting experiments on living creatures. I don’t really feel like that needs to be explained.

As for yourself self driving car example, well, unfortunately Tesla has skipped a lot of stages and just threw their shit on the road and people have died because of it. So not exactly the best example. You can do things incrementally and safely and achieve the results you want. It just cost money and time. And when lives are at stake I don’t feel like we should be pennypinching.
