To repeat my comment from a previous discussion which brought a lot of downvotes: what happens when (not if) a self-driving car runs-over and kills someone (e.g. because of a software bug)? Do such cases cause criminal penalties? Who is penalized? Or will all cases of autonomous car accidents with deaths become civil cases? If so - do human drivers get the same new rules or if they kill someone by accident (because they got distracted) they still go to jail? Is that fair?

In this particular case I assume the operator will be thrown under the bus, which is also unfair.
