much like Tesla's Autopilot which cannot be responsible for an accident because you're supposed to be hands-on-wheel and alert at all times while using it.

That issue is media mostly optics I think. Once you sit down with it, it's simply a better cruise control.

Now, if you are talking about 'Full Self Driving' - then yea, there's a waiver and a point there.

It's not optics. It's regulatory intervention: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCAK-23V838-3395.pdf

I think the recall is dumb. If you are not paying attention and have an accident, then you are at fault. You already have to click-through agree to use the feature properly, and Tesla has an interior camera to capture a photo of the person agreeing and telemetry to send it to the mothership. For that matter, Tesla could make you read the waiver on camera and capture that before enabling autopilot or FSD.
