Okay, so the name sucks, but if my kid breaks her laptop, I still gotta pay it. I didn't break it. The kid broke it. But it's still my responsibility.
I don't have a kid. If I did, I'd hope I had a kid who wouldn't break nice things. But, let's be real. Kids and cats break nice things. I also don't have a Tesla. But if you own something (or you have a pet or a child) you are still responsible for what they do.
It's going to be interesting if we ever get those cars that go out on our behalf and do ride sharing gigs while we're at work, earning back the money they spend keeping themselves charged. I wanna say one of the EV makers floated that idea. It never happened. But if it did, while you're at work your car does damage. Who are they going to blame? Maybe you have insurance that covers it. But you'd still be responsible.
except the name is literally fraud
You may want to familiarize yourself with marketing, before you indict half the economy.
But the name is “Fill Self Driving (Supervised)”. See, no fraud, just a balance of marketing and legaleze, lying and technicalities
don't care about business speak
charge the rest of them too
the world could do with less business majors
