Even if Uber it's not legally at fault, they have acted irresponsibly (not limiting the vehicle's speed, disabling the vehicle's builtin safeguards), which resulted in a self-driving car hitting and killing a person. Doesnt't really matter who's at fault: a self driving car killed a person so the next thing you know there's going to be public backlash against self driving vehicles, just as it happened with nuclear energy. Automated transit is protected with platform screen doors, at least in Paris, France. This is a very good example of responsible automation. Also the EZ10 driverless bus which travels at 20 kmh and the Waymo driverless cars which also cruise at low speeds.
