“Driverless” is going to see a fast and final end when a small child gets killed by one of these robots and the owner, manufacturer, and every insurance company within throwing distance gets a billion dollar lawsuit judgement. There is much hubris going around about AI and machine vision with business people and grad students taking lives into their hands and not seriously handling the responsibility.
I would assume, like in the USA, the person who hit the "summon" button would be liable for anything the car did.
what if the summoned car gets hit by another car (in such a way the it is not the tesla's fault)? what if somebody throws themselves into the tesla?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What if the phone erroneously detected an action? AKA a pocket summon. Is the phone manufacturer liable in that case?
To get a sense of what would be required to "pocket summon" the car, you'd have to: - pocket unlock phone - pocket open tesla app - pocket scroll down to Summon - pocket click Summon - pocket select "Smart Summon" from within the Summon screen - pocket click the target button on the map - pocket hold down the "come to me" button continuously All this while being within 200ft of the car.
The biggest problem and confusion just is that there isn't a driver. Noone challenges a human for going on a joyride. The fact that there is no driver visible might be a bigger challenge for self driving vehicles and its acceptance.

i'm not a lawyer, but my guess for both questions, the driver's inability to provide an eyewitness account would probably heavily bias towards their fault. Kind of like if you were driving your car with your eyes closed.

Of course many in the media took the video and created a headline which was VERY misleading.. "Tesla smart summon gets into accident"... while yes, that is true, it was no fault of the Tesla doing smart summon.
