Who is liable when a human Uber gets in an accident today? Nobody.
Hmm, I'm curious: are you just trolling, or do you really not know how liability works? Because it's usually not nobody. Actually it's **never** nobody. It's almost always the driver (or at least *a* driver, if multiple cars are involved). That's why insurance of some kind is mandatory to drive cars on the road: otherwise the driver might be liable for payouts they might not be able to afford. Sometimes it's a defect in the car, in which case, yes, the manufacturer is liable, but that usually requires a pretty serious design flaw. Otherwise mechanical failure is usually considered the fault of the owner for failing to maintain the car properly.
