    When you’re selling a million cars, it’s guaranteed that some of them will have a missed defect, no matter how good your QC is.

    That’s why you have agencies like the NHTSA. You need someone who can decide at what point the issue is a major defect that constitutes a recall.

        Correct. They also push updates so they know exactly what software is running.

        They’ve create a chain of liability.

        The big automakers better be taking notes because it they seem to be trying to follow Tesla down this legal rabbit hole
