There is a case that dates back to the early days of the auto industry.
tl;dr: Lady was driving a car and the wheel fell off due to a manufacturing defect. Auto makers said they weren't liable cause Caveat Emptor. Supreme court said a normal person has no way of knowing if the wheel assembly on a car is defective. Auto maker was held liable.
Defective or misleadingly advertised auto pilot? The above on steroids.
