The legal framework around driverless cars will come as real driverless cars arrive and the technology involves. I also don't think the safety improvements are invalided by the occasionally accident as the technology develops, besides the argument is that they're much safer not 100% safe. Computers can talk to each other and make decisions instantly. We communicate using lights and have slow reaction times.
