self driving liability needs to be covered and no dumping it on some in the car at the last second.
No, that's stupid. There's no need to mention or refer to the "self-driving" feature of cars in the legal wording AT ALL.
Liability lies with the handler of the vehicle (e.g. the person in control of and responsible for the car - whether you are controlling it directly with wheels and pedals, or controlling it through voice and a touch screen is utterly irrelevant)
If you are responsible for the vehicle, you are liable in the event of an accident
If the "auto-drive" (or any other feature at all) of the car was at fault, then you are welcome to sue the manufacturer (just like you can now, duh)
