If that's the case, then Tesla has a certain number of children their FSD solution can run over every year, below which its cheaper to settle with the parents out of court instead of improving their FSD solution.

This is a classic ethical dilemma. Self-driving cars will kill some amount of people via malfunctions, accidents, etc. Some amount will be children. Should we ban the development of the technology? What if it only killed 1 child? What about 10? What about 100? How many dead children is the benefit of self-driving cars worth?
