Okay so if it wasn't for human-intervention, two accidents would have happened within a minute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHCQ36Q5zRo&feature=youtu.be...

Considering this feature is out for anyone to use, my question is: who is responsible for the damage? Suppose you have a video like this one clearly showing autopilot being at fault, will Tesla cover the costs of damage? (of both the tesla car and the other party's car?)

The short term answer is probably going to be "the driver, until this becomes a sufficiently common issue that legislators get involved"

The longer term answer is probably going to be "AI insurance". The bigger question is whether it will be the vendors or the owners who pay the premiums. My hope is that the onus would be on vendors, since it's their software, but my gut says that the cost will instead fall upon either owners or the taxpayer.

The feature is not out for everyone to use. I have FSD and do not have this for my Model 3 yet
