This is so tremendously NOT a case of personal responsibility. A large portion of our economy attempts to rely on the belief of: "you said it would do x, it must do x".
You bought a car, it promised functionality, it did not deliver and endangered another human/their property.
This is the fault of the manufacturer.
Here are some examples of non-autonomous driving cases where the manufacturer made a false promise:

It is my sincere hope that we can enjoy Elon's persona without just letting Tesla off the hook of being a car company. Or really, a company.
- tiahura 5y agoFortunately, in the US, responsibility usually isn't an all or nothing proposition. Tesla can be responsible for a FSD bug, the driver responsible for not paying attention, the driver in the other lane for swerving, the tire shop for not putting the tires on right, etc.
