I mean personally the company assuming liability means A LOT more to me than how much the system can do. It's one thing to say your system can drive down a slick and curvy mountain road, and another thing to say you'll cover all liability if the car drives itself off the mountain. It's easy to write software the runs most of the time. This is our lives that we're talking about.

Liability is meaningless if it's limited to extremely low risk situations. Assuming liability in high risk conditions would be a big deal. Otherwise, its purpose is just to get mindshare for their 'level 3' tech, which in fact is just a self-driving starter project downloaded from Github.

Being liable still just means that it works most of the time and that they computed the cost of when it doesn‘t just like any insurance company. That‘s all there is to it.

Feels like the people here saying that Mercedes assuming liability doesn't matter are the same people who say it's your own fault if you lose your job and your healthcare and become poor.
