text: Lastly, if someone gets into a crash, whose fault is it? They say in the article they do not know who would be at fault for the crash. The car company could have a lawsuit against them if someone dies in the car, or because of the car. Would the company get sued, having to pay for injuries or anything else, or will it be the driver's fault for being careless and not paying attention. You do not know if the person even had any control over the car to begin with.
