Technologies have ALWAYS outpaced governance, laws, and their enforcement. First it takes recognition, secondly an ability to be appraised of technological developments and their implications. Thirdly the assessment of impact and implications to create laws that protect people from the potential harm and disruption of social norms and expectations.
No one realized they needed traffic rules and laws and pedestrian protections until the only 2 cars in OHIO collided...
"Ohio City, Ohio claims the first accident involving a gasoline-powered
auto, a little closer to what most of us think of as a car today. In
1891, engineer James Lambert was driving one of his inventions, an early
gasoline-powered buggy, when he ran into a little trouble. The buggy,
also carrying passenger James Swoveland, hit a tree root sticking out of
the ground. Lambert lost control and the vehicle swerved and crashed
into a hitching post. Both men suffered minor injuries."
... and laws regarding the responsibilities of Air Lines until flight was achieved and 'copied' their laws from those that existed regarding ships and shipping ... if you get my point.

Which is why self driving cars are a scam. Nobody is seriously talking about the laws that need to be put in place. Who's responsible when a crash happens? Sure as hell Tesla isn't going to want to claim responsibility. Definitely shouldn't fall on the owner. So who gets the blame?
Until there's law for and what to do with insurance claims, self driving cars are a pipe dream.

In France, the manufacturer is liable in case of an accident (pecuniary & criminally) involving a self driving car. Should be the way to go everywhere else.

Nobody should be responsible unless someone failed their duty when manufacturing the car.
Technology fails all the time, and when it does, sometimes people die. That doesn't mean the new technology X is a scam, or that the question "who will be responsible" is new, or deep, or unsolvable.

I think the question is who pays for insurance. For self driving cars the onus should be on the manufacturer while if you’re driving you’re paying.

Clearly you don't fully comprehend what you're saying.
I'm sick and tired, and don't really have the time to deal with nonsense today. Best be with you.

I'm sorry you can't think of any argument. Clicking the block button for you.

I fear, it just doesn't work the other way around. You cannot regulate something that before it comes out.
Thats the point.
