When a driver less car kills someone the company should be sued.
Think about what you just said. We already trust our lives on the highways and it's very dangerous out there.
Are you aware that 57,000 American die each year in auto accidents? And another 2.35 million Americans each year are either injured or disabled in car accidents. It's even worse when you look at it globally.
Yet despite the grim statistics, we trust our lives with automobiles every day. We have learned to tolerate nearly 60,000 people getting killed every year in automobiles (in the U.S. alone).
Nobody is talking of banning the automobile despite the butcher's bill presented to us year after year.
No doubt there will be fatalities with driverless cars. But that won't stop it from happening.
Your first question invalidates your second. Because no technology works perfectly yet we ALL trust our lives with technology every day. Do you have electricity in your house? Smoke alarms? Oven, microwave or otherwise? Use vehicles to travel? No technology is perfect, all of those things can and have malfunctioned in a way that causes death. And yet you’re not living the life of a stone aged caveman.

Driver less cars are already on the road. Many have been involved in accidents. Overwhelmingly, the accidents are caused by human drivers, not by the driver less cars.
Driver less cars are inherently more safe. Why would you trust your safety to the recklessness of human drivers? Drivers who are more interested in playing Pokeman, streaming video, texting, etc.?

When a car with a driver causes an accident, the company that built the car will be charged with reckless endangerment for allowing a human to drive.
