I think there are a couple interesting issues with self-driving cars.

1. Liability: How does an insurance company properly underwrite a self-driving auto policy? How is fault/liability determined if there's an accident?

2. Privacy: Does it make sense to have self-driving vehicles synced to each other to optimize road safety? Will there be a "black box" recording driving data? Or even a camera? Who will have the right to access that data?

Liability: the fault is with either software or hardware makers. Also fewer cases will exist due to increased reliability.

If the fault lies with the software or hardware maker, then without tort reform, there will be no mass produced self-driving cars.
