I would think it would be the owner of the vehicle. The owner is responsible for properly maintaining the vehicle and using it in a safe manner. If Waymo or Uber buy a fleet of cars then they would be the responsible party. If Joe Student allows his FSD vehicle to be used as an autonomous taxi then Joe Student should be responsible for the vehicle. Don't want to take the risk that your vehicle could cause an incident? Simple, keep control of your vehicle.
Of course, the owner could later sue the manufacturer for an inherent defect in the vehicle.
