Thanks for the comment! You’re right that this approach would need modification if ‘dangers that only become apparent after mass deployment’ becomes a major risk factor, and that a ‘trial’ commercialisation period could be a good response. My hope is that the regulatory exam period would be able to catch much more than at present though—the regulator would have ample time to design and deploy more sophisticated tests, with the aid of labs who would presumably love to submit a test their competitor would fail (so long as they themselves pass).
