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 phone erroneously detected an action? AKA a pocket summon. Is the phone manufacturer liable in that case?

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?

What a bonehead, you control the car from your phone app.

You need to be within viewing distance of your car.

You press the button on the app. When you release it, the car stops immediately. This bonehead clearly wasn't doing that.

More FUD on the inevitable future. Keep it up, you horse and buggy lovers.

Would the car endlessly follow the person around the mall? Is there a timeout? Seems like after x minutes it should self park and update the app.
