One would think that in a situation where a driverless vehice was, say, speeding, it could be argued it represented a danger to the public at large and thus had to be impounded right?

I gotta imagine if my cars e-brake failed while parked, then it rolled down a hill and hit a mailbox or something, they wouldn't just leave it there for me to grab later.
