Great. Another "genius" CEO who thinks he's smarter than the experts and that his product is so innovative that regulations would just be a burden.

I don't even see the business case for this even without them caring about safety. This kind of thing takes years before it's profitable, (CEO confirmed that they aren't profitable yet) and the titanic is slowly disintegrating.
