This is going to be what happens in the future, if Autopilot runs over a person. Tesla will do their best to prove that your hands weren't on the wheel, and they weren't at fault, just like when that Apple engineer died on 101.

I think insurance companies have a role to play here. They should refuse coverage when driver is not operating the vehicle 100% of the time. To them it is two drivers splitting responsibility. Insurance/ law enforcement must demand additional coverage, for self driving cars.. a separate coverage for “software driver”. In addition DMVs should test each self driving car for a special drivers license.. just as they test a regular driver.
