Tesla's use of cameras and artificial intelligence technology in its Full Self-Driving software has raised safety concerns, prompting regulators to scrutinize the system. In contrast, other companies are incorporating a range of technologies such as radar, lidar, and sophisticated mapping systems into their driverless vehicles to ensure safety and meet regulatory requirements.

Specifically, Encode questions whether a for-profit entity could fulfill OpenAI's promise not to compete with and assist value-aligned organizations developing artificial general intelligence. This concern is echoed by Sneha Revanur, president and founder of Encode, who argues that the courts must intervene to ensure AI development serves the public interest.
