This is why I feel China will be the first to have unlimited self-driving. They would be able to treat self-driving cars the way that we treat trains: liability on the person hit by the train, so long as the train was functioning properly.

Maybe the Chinese self-driving cars will be programmed to kill any pedestrians they accidentally hit. Apparently it's cheaper that way.
