So people should be banned from driving too?

Exactly!
I read where in the USA, 15 pedestrians are killed every day in encounters with vehicles.
I doubt auto-driving software will ever be programed to avoid running into some idiot who does something totally irrational, illegal and just plain stupid.

We will see. But it is some coincidence that it would happen to a driverless car, which is 1 of some millionth of all cars on the road at any given time.

Will you please present your evidence that the people killed in encounters with vehicles are at fault?

This. There are instances where self-driving cars will be a benefit, albeit with human monitoring of some kind. But I think we're a long way off from having self-driving cars on a large scale.
