Uber is temporarily halting self-driving car tests in all locations after a deadly accident.
Programs in San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Phoenix and Toronto will be paused after a woman was hit and killed overnight by an Uber self-driving car when walking across the street in Tempe, Arizona. It is likely the first pedestrian fatality caused by a self-driving car.

I’m not a lawyer, but I’d go for liability based on negligence
And I’d probably file in civil court for preponderance of evidence and not “within a reasonable doubt”
The local municipalities could also be at fault when driverless cars kill a pedestrian.
My car has "lane assist," a feature where the car "sees" the lane stripes and nudges the car to drive between them. The system disengages if the stripes are faded from weather and age. In fact, here in Houston the roads are made from white cement with white lane stripes, so it's often hard for the car to discern the lane markings; in California my local roads were topped with dark asphalt with reflective paint striping that's clearly visible at night.
Therefore, will we be seeing self-driving cars forces states, counties, and towns to keep their lane striping fresh so that the cars' cameras see them, or can they be found liable in a crash if the lane markings on the road are faded from neglect?

An interesting observation I haven't seen mentioned before. In many states roads are beat to heck. There is no money to keep them in tip top shape at all times..

You can do that if you’re ever hit by an autonomous car, but I don’t think you’ll prevail if the you broke the law, but the autonomous car didn’t.
Perhaps the car was texting?
Moore’s law dosen’t apply.
It is a love story, after all. :)

Human drivers often anticipate results based on prior experience.
I think I’d have a really good shot at it.
If I run a red light and you are coming the opposite direction, do you brake? do you anticipate?

If you cross into my lane I would, or do you mean I’m on a cross street?
