Presumably it would be any test driver present and who's responsible for the accident. So far, apart from a dog, no fatalities (unless in the last 7 months). And even then, there's a class of accidents that really make it hard to think of the driver as guilty of anything short of lacking omniscience. See link, there's a discussion there. In brief: It's complicated. (But then again, legal liability in accidents often is, whatever quick judgments made by 4th-hand observers may decide).

I'm no fan of autonomous vehicles, but I find the press release by the Teamsters to be, as expected, advocacy.
