Above everything else, the most important concern for self-driving vehicles is the safety of the passengers and others on the road. No matter how well a self-driving vehicle functions, the technology will not be adopted if it puts people at risk. Vehicle manufacturers have gone to great lengths to ensure this. During the interview, you should be able to discuss the model you use to ensure that the software you develop prioritizes safety. The Tesla interviewer may ask follow-up questions about how you specifically develop software to accomplish this objective.
