We don't know about the specifics of the accident, but I just want to say that simply not being "at fault" is not the same thing as driving safely. A large number of accidents can be avoided by the non-"at fault" party alone exercising caution – something autonomous vehicles should be far superior at than humans.
Say you're approaching an intersection with a green light while another car is traveling perpendicular at a moderately high rate of speed – perhaps just 5mph faster than their maximum safe stopping speed. You're completely allowed to just keep driving through the intersection, and when they hit you, they will be at fault. However, you could have avoided the collision by recognizing the situation and slowing down – and this is a type of analysis that autonomous vehicles are specially suited for compared to human drivers.
