A small number of Chevy Bolts have had their batteries ignite spontaneously, nobody has been killed, and now there are a bunch of parking garages that have banned Chevy Bolts from parking there.

Maybe not all autonomous cars will be banned when someone is killed, but I wouldn't be shocked if the same thing happened to whatever company that built the car in question that happened to Uber after they killed an innocent bystander.

Well that's exactly my point. The manufacturer and model of the self-driving car will be blamed and possibly banned, but not all self-driving cars will be. The first pedestrian death isn't going to be blamed on all autonomous cars.
