There’s literally only two examples in the post and one is an example of the car stopping before a collision. The other example is another car backing into the Tesla.

In the first video from the article, the Tesla would be found to be at fault in most jurisdictions as the driver backing out was well into the backing out maneuver before the Tesla even rounded the corner. The Tesla without question did not have the right away at that point.

In most jurisdictions, the vehicle traveling in reverse is always the give-way vehicle. Practically, I expect that the insurance companies would agree to each pay their own driver’s costs and count it as an at-fault accident on both sides.

A self-driving car's fender bender is more newsworthy than a fatal accident with a human driver.
