Sorry no. Cars kill thousands of people every year, and will continue to do so. Car companies are doing just fine. Power companies literally kill millions every year, a-ok. McDonalds, Coca Cola ? ditto.

Drivers kill, not the cars. That's totally different from an autonomous car killing someone. Humans make mistakes. That's different from a defective product.

I feel like debate about autonomous cars extends ideas of "who's to blame -- the human or the gun?"

And then it gets fixed, just like with current defects on current cars. Why should it be any different ?
