Who Goes To Jail When Self-Driving Car Kills Someone?

Tesla is going to drive its automotive gross margins to/near zero, in hopes of creating a large installed base of cars to sell full self-driving software as a service.

Which means that Tesla will be in a position where it is financially compelled to push FSD into millions of cars whether it works safely or not.

You know that people will be sticking their 10 year olds into FSD cars and having the car take Junior to school, getting in FSD cars while drunk or high out of their minds, with no or revoked licenses, etc.

When a self-driving car kills someone, who is civilly liable? Who is criminally liable? The car’s owner? It’s occupant? The car’s manufacturer?
