Maybe an interesting idea: with a very granular understanding of crash types, Tesla could add active software features to reduce their occurrence rate and pocket the savings.


It could backfire though. A severe crash that paralyzes the driver is much more expensive than one where the driver dies.


On its face this seems like the incentives are wrong. We should be making liability for killing someone always higher than liability for paralyzing that person.
