Uh Oh! Self-driving Uber cars to carry passengers

After reading this I thought about the legalities of this down the road (no pun intended). Especially as a cyclist.

Once these vehicles become truly autonomous, where does the burden of responsibility lie in the case of an accident?

I’m sure auto manufacturers and corporations can push legislature through making this doable, but what are the repercussions in the case of an accident? Where does the culpability lie?

It’s bad enough fighting with insurance companies in the case of accidents. Can you imagine getting another few layers of corporate evasion involved?
