That just seems like a theoretical possibility (even if that). I don’t see how any engineer or even someone in management could go to jail unless intent or gross negligence can be proven.

The mandatory limit is extremely low in many US states.
> expected claims
That seems like the problem. It might take a while until we reach an equilibrium of some sort.

That’s still capped by the amount of coverage + total assets held by that bad driver. In Tesl’s case there is no real limit (without legislation/established precedent). Juries/courts would likely be influenced by that fact as well.
