In general I'm curious how this plays out in the coming years when self driving vehicles cause accidents due to 'bugs'. The promise of self driving cars is much less accidents, but who can people blame if something goes wrong? Will these sort of accidents - as they build up in the coming years - lead to a slower adoption rate of the technology, thus potentially causing more accidents to keep happening than would have been the case if we would have adopted it faster? Or does it make sense to wait longer with allowing self-driving technology if it still causes unneeded accidents, regardless of the potential?

A runaway Tesla has caused havoc in Wormerveer. In the accident with the electric car, another car, a cyclist and a scooter driver were involved. According to the police, it was a technical defect.
The car crashed this afternoon at a schoolyard in a primary school, reports NH News. Due to a technical problem, the car did not do what the driver wanted anymore, the police say. It has not been announced whether the Tesla was on autopilot.
A wounded person fell in the accident. The victim has been treated by ambulance staff. Nothing is known yet about the nature of the injuries.
>According to him, the accident is not caused by the autopilot system, with which the car can be controlled without the help of a person. "This system was not in this car."
Seems this is just a regular crash caused by a regular driver in a regular car.
