>the SDC manufacturer must be liable for any accidents the SDC causes.

There's the rub... How do you seperate those from the rest?

We already have a system that relies on assigning fault among the multiple parties involved in an accident. This same approach applies just as well to SDC accidents. It would be even easier than the status quo, given the much richer data SDCs could be regulatorily mandated to provide.

If there is disagreement between the relevant parties, through the court system (or through insurance agreements).

The whole event will be recorded by at least the SDC vehicle.
