This brings up an interesting topic... Who the Hell is programming autonomous vehicles to break the law? To me this is Dieselgate x 1000.

It doesn't even really need to be that complicated, when autonomous driving cars goes mainstream. They simply should be insured just like normal cars and accident payouts would be done as they are done today. Individuals get sued all the time for vehicle fatalities, insurance usual pays up.

But damages can easily exceed coverage. When that happens the policy owner is responsible for the remaining damages. So I have the potential responsibility for life-changing debt, or maybe losing my house because of my autonomous vehicle's error? That isn't going to go well.
