I have seen how Tesla comes to an end, and it's when they get sued into oblivion for their self driving cars.

This is a really interesting topic. I would argue autonomous vehicles, and more broadly intelligent machines (and the companies who design and build them) will not just 'come to an end'. Liability isn't a slam dunk. We have laws that can determine fault if it can be proven the cause was design flaw or manufacturing issue, sure, but what if the machine made a decision to act, and did so outside of the 'rules' it was given?

Lots of questions are unanswered, but to suggest that will hold back the advancement of the technology isn't practical.
