Well car companies whose cars have an inherent problem are liable so I guess so. The first time a self-driving car makes a choice to kill a pedestrian to save a driver or vice versa, the legal case is going to be interesting. Might even stop the entire industry if Tesla/Mercedes/Honda/whoever have to justify the programming of the AI every time there's an incident.
Of course the motor industry has deep pockets so I guess laws will exempt them from responsibility for the choices their cars are programmed to make.

Would it not be as simple as your car, your problem?
If an animal you own hurts someone, you’re liable and not the seller/breeder.

It would make Elon liable for the Tesla that just crashed into you, as the driver can’t be held to have caused the collision, surely?
