Also, as the automated car industry will learn soon enough, while juries will have a degree of tolerance for humans being humans, I believe they will have zero tolerance for AI killing people... especially since the only person to sue is the big corporation who recklessly sent under-developed, untested, and unsafe AI out into society with no regard for who it kills.
This stuff will be ambulance chasers wet dream, and mark my words the automation industry will end up asking congress for liability waiver laws.
