  Serious answer: the owner of the vehicle is responsible for it. You sue the owner, their insurance, possibly your insurance, possibly tesla, possibly nobody. The best result is to walk away avoiding court with more money.

  In a Musk-approved world:

  • You’re hit by a Tesla in FSD mode, the driver gets sued for not driving.
  • You’re hit by a fully autonomous Tesla taxi, you get sued for vandalism.
  • You’re the driver and FSD hit someone, you get sued.
  • You’re the owner and the car hits someone while you’re not in it, you get sued for owning it.
  • You’re the owner and it catches fire with you inside, you(r estate) gets sued for “not maintaining it”.

    In all cases, the warranty on the Tesla in question is immediately voided
