As long as self driving vehicles are small passanger vehicles, they are not able to kill more than a few people.

If you look at the Uber accident, killing 1 person severly harmed the company.

The only extremely harmful scenario that I can imagine in self driving is a bad remote mass software update (which is sadly possible even in an otherwise great company) causing lots of accidents at the same time in different vehicles.
