Is there at least a license agreement you are showned at and have to agree to upon delivery? Can you operate those vehicules offline by choice?
What is legality of making alternative firmware for Tesla? I guess they could argue with safety. Does the car loose road worthy certification, if its software is altered?
I would assume if you do something dumb with the electronics or software you wold probably be found liable in terms of insurance.

Well, technically, the bank owns the car till you pay it off. So, maybe they are advocating for their customers?
I don't think that's quite right, you own the vehicle legally and you owe the bank the loan. However as soon as a repossession takes place the legal title to the vehicle does change.

Isn't it reversed: that the repossession takes place because the legal title to the vehicle changed, due to the contract being broken by lack of payment?
Not much into US law, but can someone tell us what is happening if you had personal possession of value in your car?
This is my problem with it. Not that payments shouldn't be kept up to date. But that it moves decision making on the issue to a corporate entity a million miles away and you can bet there won't be any accounting for personal situations, or admin errors, or anything else. Your car will just be gone. Sorry, f@ck tesla on this.
The advantage of autonomous cars is that they can resist their owner. That enables big cost savings for everyone (insurance, manufacturer, rental, leasing, repo). Well, everyone except for the "owner".
I'd say autonomous vehicles are pro-social machines. They will, in general, act to follow the rules established, ideally more often than a "dumb" car operated by a human.
Given how many traffic accidents are human caused, that's sort of the point of the entire exercise.

(probably wrong statement follows) In the US, title to the vehicle usually remains in the hands of the creditor until it’s paid off.
Th title is in the owners name with a note of a bank lien on it. When you sell the car the bank lien is settled first and then the transfer can begin. In most cases you can’t register the car without the title and you cant drive the car without it being registered.
