I would suggest reading all the disclaimers and screens one has to review (or skip, at their own peril) in order to actually get access to FSD Beta. You would likely not believe a Class Action lawsuit is a cakewalk if you read those screens...

With Tesla's army of lawyers it'll never be a cakewalk, but I can't imagine even miles of T&C can remove a company's responsibility for your car throwing you directly into oncoming traffic, not to mention the potential victim's in the other vehicles.
That alone is why I would love it if Tesla would stop shipping this crap. You get to opt-in as the Tesla owner, but I don't and I'm at least as much at risk.
I'd love to see more instances of "this giant wall of text that no one actually reads absolves us of responsibility" tested in court.
Reminds me of this recent Live Nation suit that was thrown out because "buyers waived their right to sue: https://www.nme.com/news/music/live-nation-antitrust-lawsuit...
Nintendo, controller drift. Worth looking up.

TL;DR: Controller drift class action lawsuit filed by parents thrown out, because their children were the actual "affected class". Refiled with the children as the class and thrown out again, this time because of an arbitration clause in the EULA their parents would have had to agree with.

Lawyers and EULAs are crazy.

How would you know, are you a lawyer?
