Yes, unless the state can pass a law that determines liability. 

But none of the parties you listed are going to say "yeah ok, pass a law that says I'm to blame if something happens" so without guidance from the courts, the legislative process would either get stuck or pass something based on the politics (like whoever doesn't lobby up gets stuck with the bill) rather than substantive policy repercussions.

But like in my other example, sometimes it takes a while for courts to work out the best solution.

This is fucking Michigan in a nutshell

Uber has too many previous cases of shoddy background checks that any good lawyer can work with even if the driver gave inaccurate data.

If the asshole of the USA goes in and give Uber his lawyers would the family have a chance still?

I don't blame the car at all.  Self driving cars are suppose to have somebody behind the wheel paying attention at all times and was never meant to be trusted to completely.  That's why the company put a human behind the wheel.

Plenty of new technologies kille a handful of people before they were perfected. The benefits outweigh the risks.

Part comedy, part adventure.  The running joke of the movie series was that the car had a personality all its own.  

There was also a reboot in the mid 2,000's.

The flip phones of the 90s / early 2000s were directly inspired by the communicators in the 60s Star Trek TV show. Sometimes TV inspires real technology.

Long as you're talking about cars that supposedly drive themselves...

We're not talking about magical self driving cars. These are robots, and they're quite real... >______>

Considering that there are people who have been driving since they were 10 still fuck up, I have little hope for you.

Nah, the targeting system just wasn't calibrated properly.  It confused the bike with a trash cart w/ office chair.

At least I the office chair made its way to the trash compactor without crashing into people.  Let me see a robot do that.
