During Tesla’s Q3 earnings call, an investor mentions that Mercedes says it’ll accept legal liability for its Level 3 autonomous system, and asks if Tesla will do the same. Musk replies with a laugh: “There’s a lot of people who assume we have legal liability... judging by the lawsuits.” Musk also said FSD is only available in North America because in the US “you can deploy things at risk or take liability,” whereas other countries have extensive approval programs.
