I don't know what will actually happen but I'm partial to strict liability for manufacturers. If the cars actually cause fewer accidents than regular cars, then even if manufacturers are liable for every accident, the total cost would be less than what people currently spend on car insurance. The cost would be initially paid by manufacturers and I'm assuming passed on to drivers through the purchase price, resulting in basically the system we have now, without the drivers of driverless cars having to carry their own insurance... Sounds good in theory, anyway
