It's not about the car or the manufactirer, it's about the operator. The closest analogy would be when the driver of an ordinary car becomes incapacitated. In that case, the police or someone acting on the polices behalf can and will move the vehicle and then the owner pays for that later. But there IS an operator who is responsible for the vehicle unless some misfortune happens. A self driving car sseems more like letting other people deal with any problems you caused by letting that car loose on the road. Basically the same as parking a regular car somewhere it's not supposed to be and leaving it. "Oh if this car I left in front of the firehouse is in the way, just call this number and I'll tell you some instructions how to unlock the car and drive it somewhere else for me."
