and who's going to be responsible when that car drives full speed into a mother and her 3 kids?

Why don't you plug that situation into my analogy and see what happens? The existing legal framework is already set up to handle this.

Considering how strongly HN advocates for strict liability for car drivers I find your reply baffling. Why wouldn't the driver be liable?

What driver? It's self driving. Companies putting machines on the road that murder innocent children will surely be held liable.
