What are the arguments for why non-owners should support this approach?

Doesn't "warts and all" for developing self-driving tech mean people dying?
When a 16-year old kids starts learning to drive on the city streets, is anybody alarmed? I doubt that is much safer. We should treat the AIs just as children at this point. They are simply learning.
I’m not sure this would have helped the Tesla that steered into oncoming traffic. Luckily for the other driver the Tesla driver reacted and crashed off on the other direction. If he hadn’t done that I don’t think the other driver would have had the time to react even if he was aware of the danger the Tesla posed.

Help me understand how you think your opinion entitles you to gamble with other people's lives.

So why doesn't Tesla share raw data with the public, or regulators? I cannot think of better PR for Tesla, and autonomous driving in general.
They do and it is easily googled. https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

Would you trust it to drive your mother or a loved one across the country with zero assistance or interventions?

This I've long thought the be the Achilles' heel of autonomous. Even skilled human drivers have a hard time calibrating their style to the local situation. I remember the first time I drove as a passenger through Manhattan with my father driving, and couldn't get my head around his change in driving style. Was a side of him I'd never seen before - driving aggressively like a cab driver. I'm sure it came from his year…
For sure. Driving on a test track is a technical problem. Driving in traffic is a social problem. As you noted, how one drives in traffic is not just about getting somewhere, but about communicating and negotiating with other drivers around you. It's one of the things that makes me think that true self-driving may be in the AGI bucket.

I feel confused why 1) they would call both programs by the same name (arguing that an acronym is pretty much the same name) and 2) why the government even allows them to call it Full Self Driving, when there are levels of autonomous driving and I imagine most would assume Full means the highest level, which, Tesla has not yet achieved from everything I've read.
