    Okay, so the name sucks, but if my kid breaks her laptop, I still gotta pay it. I didn’t break it. The kid broke it. But it’s still my responsibility.

    I don’t have a kid. If I did, I’d hope I had a kid who wouldn’t break nice things. But, let’s be real. Kids and cats break nice things. I also don’t have a Tesla. But if you own something (or you have a pet or a child) you are still responsible for what they do.

    It’s going to be interesting if we ever get those cars that go out on our behalf and do ride sharing gigs while we’re at work, earning back the money they spend keeping themselves charged. I wanna say one of the EV makers floated that idea. It never happened. But if it did, while you’re at work your car does damage. Who are they going to blame? Maybe you have insurance that covers it. But you’d still be responsible.

        Full self driving*

        *Not full self driving at all

        Seems fair and not confusing at all right?

        100% real gold that has the same value of real gold and is priced as such*

        *fake gold that is just spray painted dog shit

      This argument is just bonkers. Are you conflating a child and a corporations claim for a car to be fully self driving? These aren’t even comparable things.
