Is Mercedes liable if I run over someone on purpose in a car they made?

That's a poor comparison to this case.

Would Mercedes be liable if the car (i.e. the algorithm) decided to run over someone?

Does the algorithm "decide" to show something, or is it operating mechanically, driven by the inputs of the user?

If the Mercedes infotainment screen had shown you a curated recommendation that you run them over, prior to you doing so, they very possibly would (and should).
