A driverless truck full of beer crashes into a car.
There is no truck driver.
Who takes responsibility for the crash?
Who pays the victims?
Maybe it gets decided that because driverless vehicles are statistically safer than driven vehicles, the beer company's truck insurer will agree insure the driverless fleet AND accept the liability in all accidents without argument - Great! Everybody will save some money because there will be fewer accidents.
BUT what if there is civil action? - Who will the Judge decide was in control of the truck at the time of the accident? The beer company or the vehicle builder, or the software company that designed the driverless tech?
Will we end up with a whole new Ralph Nader thing? Hundreds of dead pedestrians and cyclists killed by driverless vehicles while the car companies say it's fine, because even though their driverless vehicles are killing them, there are fewer being killed than in the old days by drivers?
