Yes, but at the same time can we stop marketing as "self driving cars" normal cars with a somewhat sophisticated cruise control, like Teslas, and stop pretending their "super full self driving unsupervised for realsies plus plus" is a "self drive mode"?

Limited liability stops the owners being responsible. It's the executives running the company that should go to jail.

What needs to happen is:

1. an enforceable certification process, like part of FMVSS, to state "this vehicle is certified as L[0-5] self driving per https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2022-05/Level-of-Automation-052522-tag.pdf". Put the certification on the window sticker. Have it reported to insurance.

2. Levels 0-2 cannot be advertised as self driving, even though there may be hands-free driving capability in some limited cases. The driver remains fully responsible and liable (no change to current liability rules essentially)

3. Levels 3 and 4 will be required to have shared liability with the driver and manufacturer in all conditions where the vehicle is in control of itself. This includes roads that the vehicle should be able to navigate autonomously and the driver has requested it to, but it is not for any reason.

4. Level 5 would place liability on the manufacturer solely, as there is no indicated driver in this case. This is the only one that can be advertised as "self-driving".
