Cars are required to implement safety standards. You're not taking full responsibility for your car, the company you bought it from is responsible for selling a product that's safe.

If you modify your car to be unsafe, then you're responsible.

People can own their phones/computers, they can be allowed to disable safety features, while still holding companies responsible for implementing a safe product.

It should be entirely possible to completely own your car/phone/whatever while still largely holding the company responsible for the users safety.
