"sign away" lawsuit rights


but.....

if self-driving cars (truck?) prove to be very accident prone, lawmakers can pass laws to ban them on a widespread level (no matter what company wants to use the technology).


I know some will say "the lawmakers will want to do whatever the business want"

but...

Politicians get elected saying what the public want to hear...and...if there are enough self-driving car/truck accidents, the public will want to hear a politician promising to ban self-driving vehicles.


edit: the legislation in the article seems to refer mainly to the customer riding in a self-driving vehicle. If the person injured wasn't the customer but a pedestrian or someone in a vehicle hit by the self-driving vehicle, then I don't think that legislation stops those lawsuits.
