I have no confidence that Tesla will fix this before the planned Robo-Taxi rollout in Austin in 2 weeks.

After all, they haven't fixed it in the last 9 years that self-driving Teslas have been on the road.

Tesla self driving is already responsible for the deaths of multiple people.

They weren't held accountable for those.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

If regular school shootings were no reason to actually do something, why would regular deadly accidents with self driving systems be one? I'm always amazed by what Americans are willing to tolerate.

That's slightly different since most states will put full responsibility on the driver even for autonomous cars. If there's no driver, though, it would go back to the manufacturer. That's why Uber gave up on self driving after one of their test cars ran over someone.
