Would it not just be an accident? Like a real accident.
The same as if another piece of machinery kills someone. Like a gun misfiring or a gas main explosion.
These things are often rare enough that an inquest can find fault and then fix the issue. The same may become possible with autonomous cars: how much easier for a coroner's inquest to rule that some software needs modifying then for it to rule that all human drivers need to be better at driving.
If there truly is blame to apportion then that can also be done. I'm looking at you here, VW.
