      Does Teslas still have a disclaimer that the self-driving features aren’t self-driving and that if the driver is using the self driving features and there is an accident Tesla can’t be held liable?

          So it doesn’t matter whatever you’re using Teslas or a 3rd party software since you, as the driver, are responsible for the outcome.

            If it was a matter of installing software on a laptop or phone, I’d agree with you, but installing software on a vehicle that can run over people is another matter, disclaimer or not.

            Just like some cars are street legal and some cars are not, some software should be street legal and some software not. If the 3rd party software has been cleared by regulators for your Tesla, I’d be fine with it.

                You didn’t read the article I linked? Seems they do it after the fact, which is sus imo, but authorities are exerting some level of oversight.

                  I did read it. They opened an investigation like 5 years after The Model S was released and people have died. Now, 6 years after that, something actually happens. 6 years of more accidents.

                  The same could be done with 3rd party software so there’s no difference and it’s not the same as the car system being regularly inspected.

                    I haven’t followed it closely to know all the deets, but some action being taken is better than none. I’m not out here defending Tesla or current government policies. I do believe that if I have to pass a driving test to operate a vehicle, then whatever self-driving software is installed should do the same.

                    If you’re trying to convince me that anyone should be able to take any random self driving software they found on the Internet, install it, and let it go wild on public streets, we’re going to have to agree to disagree.
