If someone is from the US, please explain it to me: how is this shit still legal there?

Isn't there some regulations about what can you put on the roads? Aren't you responsible to prove that your solution works before you get a green light to put it on the roads? Or was Autopilot ever approved by any regulator?

Autopilot is a teslas name for adaptive cruise control, which has been in cars since decades. Assistive technologies don’t need approvals.
