    Say there is a car with no human driver, that is being sold as requiring “no human input other than set destination, stop, and go”.

    If that vehicle crashes, you think the person who bought the car (the passenger) has legal liability, and not the manufacturer?

    That’s like being a passenger on a bus and getting sued if the bus driver hits a parked car.

      The bus company gets sued because they own the bus, not the driver. Same as if you lend your car to someone, you’re at least partially responsible.
