I think especially between same brand. The legal acrobatics by the manufacturer will be interesting to watch.

  Between the same brand doesn’t seem to unlikely to me. If you have a bunch of cars stored somewhere overnight (so you can fuel them or charge them or whatever) it’s easy enough to imagine some situation where two of them run into each other trying to get out of the lot. Or one going in one coming. Out on the road it’s kind of the same thing. There are lots of Waymo cars in city X, so if they’re going to hit another automated vehicle there’s a decent chance it would be one of their own. To get a crash between different brands they both have to be in the same space, running automated, at the same time, and both make or be unable to avoid mistakes. That seems less likely, at least right now. Of course if one brand runs into itself more than once I imagine the press will have a field day.
