> Why are you so sure that criminal liability ends with the driver?

I'm not. But it would be precedent setting. Given this case has the driver admitting to cops that he was distracted in a way Tesla's user manual presumably tells you not to be, I'm not sure I'd start here.

> pedantic point: the driver is civilly liable to the estate

You're right, I was being loose with my words.
