The law says yes. However I think the law is wrong. I think the law should put the company that designed the system at fault. They are creating a system that is encouraging people to not focus on the road and if they are doing that they should be responsible for what the car does.
I also think that Tesla is super irresponsible by living in the "uncanny valley" of self-driving where they advertise like it is full self driving (Autopilot) but then say the driver needs to pay attention. I think this should be illegal because it is well-known the humans can't reliably pay attention to mundane tasks. I think Google did this right. They did an early test of self-driving with their employees, noticed that a lot of them weren't paying attention and pulled the plug. Then they stopped testing until they had full self driving.
