But then we'll have a legal test when some driver tries to dodge responsibility for causing a fatal crash by blaming the tech... And with the record of juries in the country, who would bet against them.

I'm sure there will be something in the Ts&Cs that will mean you accept liability. Wouldn't be surprise if you had to press an OK every time you get in the car.

Well yes. But what is the issue with that? There are additional complications but that's how the law works.
If I buy a new car and the brakes spontaneously fail due to a manufacturing defect who is responsible?
If I fail to maintain my car and the brakes fail as there are no pads left who is responsible?

Isn't that the point though - that technology (if well done) will be safer than human driving.
