This isn't on Tesla it is on the regulators (US, EU, UK). Doors that cannot be unlocked mechanically from inside and outside in a crash should simply not be permitted. Simple fix just mandate it for certification on all cars. You cannot leave this stuff to manufacturers.

These cameras can be set to automatically zoom in on people and follow them. Flock left the admin panels for these cameras exposed, where people could download 30 days of footage, change settings, delete things. We found them at playgrounds, bike paths, parking lots, street fairs:
Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, which are designed to capture license plates as people drive by, Flock’s Condor cameras are pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras designed to record and track people, not vehicles. Condor cameras can be set to automatically zoom in on people’s faces as they walk through a parking lot, down a public street, or play on a playground, or they can be controlled manually, according to marketing material on Flock’s website. We watched Condor cameras zoom in on a woman walking her dog on a bike path in suburban Atlanta; a camera followed a man walking through a Macy’s parking lot in Bakersfield; surveil children swinging on a swingset at a playground; and film high-res video of people sitting at a stoplight in traffic. In one case, we were able to watch a man rollerblade down Brookhaven, Georgia’s Peachtree Creek Greenway bike path. The Flock camera zoomed in on him and tracked him as he rolled past. Minutes later, he showed up on another exposed camera livestream further down the bike path. The camera’s resolution was good enough that we were able to see that, when he stopped beneath one of the cameras, he was watching rollerblading videos on his phone.

The book "Search for a living fossil" was one of my favs when I was little. I was absolutely fascinated.

At least five FUBARed Waymo robots:

Market & Guerrero, SF

One is a problem, two a mistake, five a major ops screw up. Waymo has never fixed their cascading failure problem. Maybe they don't know how.

Fundamentally unfit for service at scale until they do, IMO.
