Obviously data is still collected after that, but that’s not the same as testing

Semantics. It’s literally the same thing, just called something different.

There will be testing on public roads whether you like it or not, it’s inherent to how any new thing works.

Testing?

Fun fact: this is illegal in many areas

Another fun fact: most shops just do it anyway
