People can say Tesla isn't liable but bet your ass they will get sued on this kind of thing and juries historically look at the parents of a dead 16 year old, and then a billion dollar company and guess who pays? There was a crash here that a jury awarded $240 million to a family where their kids had a broken steering knuckle on a 10+ year old 100,000+ mile Hyundai even though experts said if the knuckle had broken it would have turned the car the opposite way and witnesses said something like a firework went off inside the car just before it swerved into the other lane. Corporations always lose on these deals.
