OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we're going to allow Elon to murder every year?

True in a purely logical sense, but assigning liability is a huge issue for self-driving vehicles.

As long as there's manual controls the driver is responsible as they're supposed to be ready to take over

That doesn't sound like a self-driving car to me.

Because it's not, it's a car with assisted driving, like all cars you can drive at the moment and with which, surprise surprise, you are held responsible if there's an accident while it's in assisted mode.
