    My dad happily put that sticker on his car when I bought it for him. Then he went and bought another Model 3. He’s a Democrat. I can’t quite reconcile it except that I think he wants the autonomous driving for him and my mom, whose driving days are limited.

      If autonomous driving was actually safe, I would understand. But at this rate you’re probably more likely to kill someone with auto driving on than just by being old.

      But I’ve always wondered, if someone is injured/killed by a “self-driving” car, does the owner/driver get in trouble? The car manufacturer?

        If there is a driver, it’s always the driver. Assuming you’re taking FSD type stuff and not autonomous Waymo. I’d love to say Waymo is on the hook for the latter, but I ain’t holding my breath.
