Er yes I have hence why I pointed out that there was a human operative behind the wheel. Thought you would benefit from knowing that as you were confused about who should be considered responsible. From the BBC article:

Quote:
Police said the accident happened Sunday night while the car was in autonomous mode. A human monitor was also behind the wheel.

Police said the woman, Elaine Herzberg, had not been using a pedestrian crossing.
