I would like those people who take it as an article of faith that self driving cars will cause fewer fatalities to watch closely where the liability falls.

If executives go to jail when the software crashes the car and kills or maims somebody and they let it out on the roads then I'm happy.

If instead those companies get slapped with token fines, I'm pretty sure that they're going to push out faulty software before it's ready and kill a bunch of people.

Politically it's still up in the air but currently it's looking like there won't be any criminal liability.
