Except that Volvo have stated that they as a corporation will take responsibility. They won't be blaming their employees. In the same way that Volvo took an enlightened approach to increased safety across the industry by developing significant safety components without patents, this is a measure that breaks down barriers to developing improved systems throughout the industry. Volvo is probably expecting to take a small hit on short term profitability, long term they'll gain in terms of reputation and in framing development on their terms.
Working for Volvo might be much less fraught than say working for a specialist autonomous vehicle developer with a very different attitude towards blame and responsibility.
