That's the thing - you're not. Once engaged, Mercedes takes liability, so you're no longer responsible.

Morally though, I'd say the driver is still responsible if they kill someone. It doesn't feel right to say "Oh well, it's Mercedes' fault, shrug" after your car with you in it drives over someone else.

- akmarinov 4y agoSo if I'm a passenger in a car and the driver hits someone - I'm morally responsible?
