Absolutely not. Current data point at self driving car being more dangerous than human driven cars. Double down in real environment testing and you’ll expose the public to increased danger until software becomes good enough - you’re basically telling random people to share publicly the risks so other people in the future may or may not be safer while private companies profit from the fruit of the research and, sincerely, screw that: public test should start after controlled testing proves the system to be at least not more dangerous than the status quo and the companies should use testers that opt in and are adeguately compensated for their liabilities to injuries instead of killing off random bystanders for the “greater good” which in trith is how they name their pyroll savings
