> Maybe, but the opacity level of models is not acceptable for cars.
That depends on actual performance of the model. I would prefer an opaque model with clearly superhuman driving abilities to a human, or to a non-opaque model with worse performance.
It really doesn't.

No self-driving cars that aren't transparent about exactly how they work. (Ideally, no anything that isn't transparent about exactly how it works.)
This take can perhaps appear to make sense in a situation when clearly superhuman opaque AI models don't yet exist. But once they do, good luck convincing people that they should not save lives or reduce their personal risks, just because they always supposedly need an explanation for any accidental deaths, lol.
In our scenario (self-driving), the one who would be ultimately "held accountable" would not be the computer, or the company, but the person who died after singing a waiver/EULA and getting into a statistically superhuman autonomous car, then having a stroke of incredibly bad luck. Such events will happen, but they will be very rare.
