That’s today because “full self driving” doesn’t exist yet but when it does?

There will be legal battles for sure. I don't know how you can argue for anything besides the manufacturer taking responsibility. I don't know how that doesn't end up with auto pilot fatalities treated as a class where there's a lookup table of payouts though. This is the intersection of liability and money/power, so it's functionally uncharted territory at least in the US.
