Car manufacturers and Google are on board with a declaration that they will be fully liable for driverless vehicle accidents. So far, just Mercedes and Volvo have made such announcements, but I expect others will follow.
Now I do not know whether these declarations cover intentional malfeasance by a rider or a hacker, but perhaps even the terrorist/angry spouse/random criminal scenarios of changing destinations or putting riders in harm's way will be covered. After all, part of what the driverless manufacturers will be selling is secure information exchange and vehicle operations, whether that means a fender bender, a serious collision, or a rider delivered to the wrong destination - as in "leave the gun, take the cannoli."
