The way I see it, we will have the manufacturers of the cars to take the blame and to ask for compensation. They will probably take out insurance for each car they sell to pay out any of these claims with the premium that depends on the accident rate, added to the price of the car. This would be better even if the accident rate is the same as the current human one. I think we would see self-driving cars of limited capability become commonplace in the near future because of the extra safety it offers us especially from blame if an accident does occur. Also, the complexity of developing self-driving systems is because we are trying to adapt them to current-day roads if we make changes to the roads by adding lanes, stationary sensors to help self-driving cars we could make accidents are very rare.
