Can't any car with a drive-by-wire technically just randomly drive into a child? Yeah, the fact that more unpredictable software is involved definitely increase

  The line would be here IMO, let me know why you think different Step 1: you get some independent persons from the government (Tesla or Google, etc pays for this so no need to cry taxes) Step 2: you drive the cars in the area where you want to approve it for testing/production , you record all mistakes and times the car ahd to intervene Step 3: drive all year around, all weather conditions, all traffic conditions Step 4: you analyze the data, see how many times you had to intervene and compute the damages that would have occurred. Get some real statisticins that could put bounds around the damages. Using the data from 4 you ask the population to vote what is the correct value they are comfortable with. What Tesla is doing now do not match because: 1 the tests are not transparent, we don't know or we can't trust Tesla for the number of mistakes the AI is doing 2 updates invalidate previous tests and stats 3 the computer will not drive in all conditions and is differing harder parts of the road to the human so this also is screwing the stats, if you let the AI to drive the easy part and the human the hard part then for sure the AI has a good record. Even if Tesla is perfect you need this laws for the imperfect companies that would move fast... so think about this as laws that will protect you from the evil Google car or some Chinese brand
