>It would also put immense pressure on companies like Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and GM to offer similar guarantees or risk appearing evasive to consumers.

Mercedes has been talking about taking taking liability for their self-driving systems and certain situations for years. I can't imagine why one would write an article about this topic and not even mention that Mercedes started this dialogue (and it was heavily reported in self-driving news) years ago... other than perhaps the author didn't take time to do any research on the topic beyond a quick Google search.

Tesla auto parking is notoriously horrible though - arguably non-functional if you want to avoid occasionally getting your wheels curbed and such - so the article is correct in saying that this is a big step up from Tesla. So are auto parking systems from many manufacturers from a decade ago.

Am I wrong in thinking that Mercedes self-driving was only within a specific mapped geography? Whereas BYD is an underwriting of general self-driving liability?
