Oddly enough, the answer might be yes. Tesla is under investigation by the NHTSA for their fatal autopilot crash some months ago, in addition to a homicide investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

I really doubt anything criminal will be brought against Tesla, but it at least sets a precedent for an investigation. Considering Uber's complete refusal to follow regulation, it seems you could argue they're being negligent and if someone dies that might be interpreted as manslaughter (I am not a lawyer). At the very least, I'm sure it will be a PR nightmare and a huge court case that would put a chink in their armor.

Through negligence?
