This technology is coming whether we like it or not

Ignores that laws and regulations exist.

Sure. It's a tough question, though; morally, yes, cars are physical objects and typically well-regulated, but self-driving cars are enabled by software, which tends to flout legal demands. I hope in this case that the sheer physical presence of cars will enable regulators to ban unsafe vehicles from public roads, but it's not as clear-cut as we'd like.
