These are good questions. The first example I think is same in a Tesla or a Toyota. Still interesting to ponder, I think there is still some ethical questions left. The second example requires a bit of nuance, I trust the driver to operate a vehicle, not necessarily the vehicle itself. Does my trust extend to their decision whether or not to turn on autopilot? You might argue yes, but you also might not be informed enough to make that decision as a passenger. The last example assumes the passenger has knowledge of the car and FSD which they may not.

In the last example, if you're riding with a driver and not paying attention and they are texting or reading a newspaper and get into a crash, then the liability would be on the driver. Not the cell phone company or newpaper company. I think the same for autopilot. If a warning displays to the driver that they are still liable for controlling the vehicle, and they ignore it then the driver would be liable to the passenger, not the car.
