Make it a (and I cant believe I'm going to say this) subscription model.

It costs $X a year for self driving, requires an annual inspection and if using it correctly in accordance with manufacturers instructions the manufacturer has to carry the insurance and liability when its in use.

Until the manufacturer is willing to take the liability on I have ZERO faith in self driving tech.

    I feel like it's one of those cases where both the interest & liability is a public issue. This is a perfect case for a public service, and not one for a "go fast and break things" & enshittification economic model

    But I fear that both the US (duh) and Europe are way too neoliberal to ever consider this seriously
