If your building or structure is a public hazard, under existing legislation the government (at least in the UK) has the right to remove the hazard, up to and including demolishing your building, if you don't make it safe sufficiently fast. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see any language in the law that would exclude unsafe automated systems which are part of a building or structure.

This is a key point. There’s no equivalent enforcement mechanism when it comes to software. It would be a very different world if one of thousands of local jurisdictions could at least theoretically issue a binding demolition order, within their boundaries of course.
