>If driving becomes a feature of the car itself and that feature fails in a way that causes and accident, there's no other answer. That is one answer but it is not the right answer if you want to encourage driver-less car use. A better answer is to put together a set of standards to govern the proper behavior of a vehicle operating systems (VOS). These standards could encompass, a proper dashboard, the ability for the driver to take control, how a car should act under various scenarios (e.g. some key sensor stops working on the highway). If the VOS follows the proper behavior, than there is no liability to the automaker, if it doesn't, the automaker is liable.
