legit a trolley problem.
your tesla in FSD has decided to plough into a crowd of people.
if you grab the wheel to swerve, you will hit someone on the pavement.
if you let the FSD tesla hit a crowd, tesla is responsible (in theory).
if you grab the wheel to swerve, and hit someone else, you are now responsible.
do you let a crowd die, because the tesla wanted that, and they take the blame? or do you grab the wheel to minimize the damage, but then become liable for the resulting death? even though your chose the lesser of two evils
Right now the driver has the duty of supervising constantly the system, so in no case is Tesla to blame (legally)
