Learning about the "Vertrauensgrundsatz" (principle of trust) is an essential part of gaining a drivers license where I come from. Essentially, you learn that some humans can not be trusted to make the proper decisions. Obviously drunk pedestrians, children, people who are blind, just to name a few well known examples. I doubt this principle is already implemented in autonomously driving cars. The gist of the principle of trust is, that you as a driver are responsible to make sure you don't hurt these people. Yes, even if they are drunk. You are the one driving a deadly vehicle. So it is your call to m ake sure you dont overrun anyone who is currently incapacitated when it comes to ensuring their own safety. How will this general principle be implemented by autonomous car pcmpanies? I sort of doubt it will be kept. Lobbying will likely erode this very important part of the responsibility of a vehicle driver.
