It comes down to the simple fact that somebody is going to hold the liability bag.
Tesla and similar obviously are not pushing to take on that liability, courts/legislatures aren't particularly interested in putting that liability on the manufacturers. So that leaves the drivers to try and offload the liability from themselves.
Unfortunately drivers are not particularly well equipped to be pushing that liability off themselves so there it stays. Insurance companies are better equipped for that sort of thing but they're only interested in the financial liability. The criminal liability, is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon.

We don't have enough real-world cases off which to construct a framework. > Insurance companies are better equipped for that sort of thing but they're only interested in the financial liability Even this hasn't been cleanly severed in any competent jurisdiction.

Precisely, it's premature to conclude that anybody but the driver is at fault. Until a sufficient body of law has been built towards the alternative it will remain by default with the driver.
