this is exactly why we're never getting full self-driving cars, whether or not they are actually safer. no manufacturer is going to take on strict liability for 100,000's of auto-driving cars let loose in the hands of legally immune "operator"/customers.
but what's the point of even having self-driving cars if you the user are still on the hook for some hallucination or oversight of the product of that manufacturer? you would never cede full control in this case. and why pay $10K, $20K extra for the privilege of something you can't use?
exactly. there's no point.
