Inevitably sometimes it WILL be the manufacturer's fault. Paying for those liabilities has to be built into the system somehow. Nobody will want to build them until they don't have to face possible billion-dollar judgments against them. Also inevitable that some bad designs will get out that will be obvious in retrospect.

Not a complete list but I believe these all must exist before broad general acceptance. 1 Autonomous driving becomes better than human driving, including "edge cases" (e.g., junk falling from a truck, ball rolling out in front of car, etc). 2 Some way to deal with the inevitable liabilities. Cars will still kill people. Maybe something built into all car insurance and/or into the price of cars to fund liability payments. 3 Some way to deal with all the insane people in non-automated cars.

That's why you test multiple sources and see what the plateau of performance tends to be. You get various low values but will get a sort of upper limit where some values cluster. Except for, when i tested this, the widely known speed test sites I used were 2-4 times faster than anything else. This was a really obvious effect a year ago when I had satellite internet.

Won't work if it's widely known. Speed test sites don't need to be in collusion. ISP's just prioritize their traffic. It's quite obvious with my ISP if I do speed test sites versus just finding something large to download from a cloud storage service.
