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.
