I'm just wondering who is liable in an accident involving a driverless car.
Since the "rider" in the car will not have been driving, then, he or she will not be liable for any accident. The owner of the insurance will have to be the maker of the vehicle, or the creator of the software/hardware that went into making the vehicle "autonomous". So, the insurance will be carried by the maker and/or creator of the software/hardware.
Furthermore, chances are that, autonomous vehicles will not be owned by "owners" or consumers or businesses. Why own the vehicle if you can just summon a ride from a driverless car that will be owned by an "autonomous fleet vehicle operator"?
