UK drivers left idling as Tesla rolls out Autopilot in US

Volvo already stepped up to the plate.

Volvo has enough confidence in their auto auto product to say that any accidents due to their product are their responsibility.

Tesla should be willing to do the same. Unless they lack faith in their own hardware/software or the suitability of use they claim.

An airplane can have a software fault, a hardware fault that brings the plane down, and the aircraft manufacturer is held at fault regardless of which. The airline also bears responsibility whether its pilot error or not. Why should auto drive products be any different?
