CHP has alleged cases of drunk or sleepy drivers who disabled the dead man’s switch and were somehow in a full self-driving mode. Because people who presumably aren’t mechanics or automative engineers can enable an unsupervised self-driving mode, it seems like it might fall under this law.

CHP has even dealt with one guy who has been arrested multiple times for letting his Tesla drive itself down the interstate while he (the only occupant) was sitting in the back seat. https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/05/11/backseat-driver-chp-a...

Yes perhaps to further analogy at the extreme end - it could be seen analogous to if a caffeinated-weed-vodka energy drink company claimed its caffeinated-weed-vodka enhanced your driving ability and claimed to have internal metrics suggesting it worked, marketed the heck out of their "super alert" drink and wink-wink encouraged people to test it on the road but first to go to e-sign some click through waivers on their website.
