Unfortunately, they can and do - as they did in both these instances - shed their actual responsibility. As I said, I am not a lawyer, so I don't know how the legal responsibility issue might play out in the courtroom, but historical evidence (McDonald's hot coffee, for instance?) is not encouraging for Tesla.
Moreover, shedding driver control & responsibility is
