This may be interpreted as the purchaser accepting known risks from a product, but no such consent exists from those around the car. Safety standards exist to protect people outside the car as well as inside, and may not be unilaterally waived on the part of those inside the car. Even assuming that the purchaser is fully informed about the risks when given consent, and is not misled by Tesla's erroneous use of "Full Autopilot" to describe something that requires continuous human oversight, not even that shred of consent exists from pedestrians struck/killed by self-driving cars (e.g. link below).
