Shit happens. A lot of people was killed by automatic industrial equipment, so that "self-driving" point "specificity" is a bullshit. In case of factory casualities from the equipment the responsibility is either on the owner of tech, either on manufacturer of tech either or on employee who failed safety protocols, depending of circumstances of incident. Don't see why that century old scheme could not be used with that "self-driving" cars. They are not different from industrial equipment in sense of automatic action at all.

Or ir could have just been a sacrifice and a dead dude at the wheel.
If that is the case, then it is orthogonal to "self-driving". Those who make sacrifice could do it regardless of "self-driving" and even a car.
I know, i was kidding. Just being a dum dum
