This is more like arresting the getaway driver, not the car manufacturer.

    Except the getaway driver is just a cabbie who will drive anyone who gets in. He didn't know he was part of a heist.

    Would you hold the CEO of lyft responsible if one of their self-driving cars were used in a heist?

    If the CEO of Lyft got repeated warnings that this very thing was happening and ignored them willfully, then yes. In the end he has nobody to blame but himself. It's no different from hosting a file sharing platform without ever vetting the content and wondering why the cops show up one day. The stupidity of going to France knowing that you're a wanted man in a number of countries is just the cherry on top.
