It's impossible, legally, for there to be a "tesla accident". It is the driver's responsibility. Wake me up when Tesla can be legally held responsible is when I buy one.


I’m not sure your statement that it’s impossible to hold Tesla responsible is an accurate statement of the law. There is no law that says that Tesla can’t be held responsible. Any car manufacturer can be held responsible for damages caused by a product defect.


Ok, yes, "impossible" is a poor choice of word from a legal perspective, but is not tesla covering themselves legally from legal liability of accidents stemming from drivers enabling "full self driving"? No? If not, then I am interested is what I'm saying... I think I am not alone in that line of thinking...
