If they turn it on and stop watching then that’s on them. Doesn’t matter what tesla says, its in the news enough that it is vaporware and dangerous. You are at fault if you push the button and something bad happens.

There’s plenty of fault to go around. We can blame the bad driver and Tesla’s bad AI. And there are already legal mechanisms in place to hold both of them responsible.
IMO, implying that folks are responsible (to the point of liability) for following the news closely enough to see whether the manufacturers of the products they own have lied to them sets a dangerous precedent. That would mean you not only have to research your purchases beforehand to make good economic decisions for yourself, you also lock yourself into some unknown period of ongoing investigation with unknown depth to keep from being liable for someone else’s failures. It’s one thing if what is being marketed and sold is comprehensive driving assistance theoretically requiring no driver input, it’s another when it’s called full self-driving and the CEO makes overreaching claims about its capability. It’s been repeatedly ruled that corporations can’t bury clauses that fundamentally alter the nature of their agreements with consumers deep in the fine print and expect that to reverse what was otherwise communicated plainly.

I agree it’s ultimately their fault, and they should especially be vigilant at a stop sign. Still, Tesla has been misleading.
you shouldn’t be able to turn your attention away if it’s supervised. it’s such a shit show, unsafe at any speed or brainpower.
