> Why not shift liability?

Because being a passenger in a driverless vehicle is a much better user experience than being a driver. You can be on a zoom call, sleep, watch a movie or TV show or scroll TikTok, get some work done on your computer, wear a VR headset and be in a different world, etc etc. Tesla would make a lot more money, and could charge a lot more for FSD.

They aren't doing that yet because they aren't ready yet. It's why they still have humans in the robotaxi service.

There are no doubts in my mind that they will do it probably next year. The latest version of FSD on the new cars is very, very impressive.
