Human drivers that are at fault face repercussions that affect the rest of their lives. Robot drivers that are at fault face repercussions of a minuscule fine and a "sorry... again" press release.
In practice drivers don't face repercussions proportional to the real impact because all of police, prosecutors and a potential jury see themselves in the driver as they too are likely drivers.
If you do something dumb and it kills another person, there's an excellent chance you get tried for manslaughter and a decent chance you go to jail. Unless it was in a car, then it's just a "car accident" and most likely you won't even be arrested because well, you were driving a car, sometimes killing people just happens right?
