It doesn’t seem that obvious to me.
Let’s say you sit in the driver’s seat of your friend’s Tesla and turn on autopilot. Are you the driver or passenger?
Now let’s say you sit in the driver’s seat of a Waymo. Are you the driver or passenger?
- dag11 2y agoIn a taxi, the passenger is not the liable party. Teslas aren't approved to operate as taxis, whereas Waymos explicitly are. I think that's the difference here.
- ghaff 2y agoYes. If you have a "FSD" Tesla, you're still supposed to be in the driver's seat and are the responsible driver--whatever claims the company makes to the contrary.
- Dylan16807 2y agoOne of them forces you to engage with the controls, and the other will not let you engage with the controls. I can imagine ambiguous situations, but I don't see how either of these two are ambiguous. As long as you can prove it. Though the easy answer is to not sit in the driver's seat when not driving.
