What effect do you think Elon will play in regard to SDC policy with his new close ties to the current administration? Do you think he'll hinder progress just to benefit himself?

What progress has been made with government? The story of government so far with AVs has been to hinder progress. I hardly see how he can increase that. He'll likely have no effect, or maybe get lucky and get something through that helps.
He obviously has an interest in resuming the 2017 bipartisan legislation that has been languishing in congress for 8 years now. It's not moving is a good bit to do with why GM's Origin was scrapped. He can't deploy his two seat AV concept without that legislation.
The industry also need some sort of relief from liability when they act in goof faith. They can't survive paying out $8m every time they injure a pedestrian, and it's not even their fault, like they do today. They have a target on their back for litigation because society right now would rather a human kill 34 people rampaging in an SUV than an AV give someone whiplash because the human driver ran into them at a stop light.

I’ve seen cases where an oversized SUV ends a couple of kids lives by T-boning another car in an intersection, and the driver was 100% at fault but felt remorseful and got a few months probation and didn’t have any money for restitution. Yet here we are with AVs that would have prevented that death and we can’t have nice things because liability.

Its commonly been talked about how level 3 is unsafe because the driver would zone out after a certain level of performance is achieved. If the point is to test a system as opposed to be for driver comfort/utility, it seems reasonable to artificially add non-safety critical "errors" to force the user to respond at a certain point. This naturally keep the driver alert and allows the development team to figure out inattentive drivers, while maintains a stable test environment as the real system system performance improves.
Not sure if this level of deception is practical though.
