"The Department of Government Efficiency" is not a department.
"Full self-driving" is not fully self-driving.
I'm detecting a theme here.
I've always heard it as 'fool self drive' considering anyone who would trust Musk with their lives and the lives of others on the road.
Hell, the cybertruck hasn't undergone NHTSA testing because it would illustrate how dangerous the design is for pedestrians.
I'm an advocate of self driving technologies, but if all the government are asking for is data to support claims of improved safety, the issue isn't the UK government, it's Tesla.
Has the accountability for crimes been worked out in law already?
A human drives a car badly, such that it is considered resulting in 'intentional murder', is it also the case that an autonomous driving system that drives in the same way would be considered intentional (murder) or not?
And if a car murders someone due to autonomous reckless driving, then is the company charged with a murder? how does that work? who goes to prison for that? all the engineering team and the people who sold it? just the people who sold it? do they split a life sentence between them or each get one of their own?

So tariff when?
