Because human drivers shouldn't be responsible for road safety in the era of driver cars.
Experts said lawmakers should get on the definition of autonomous driving.

The report mentioned that the driver should be redefined as a “responsible user” in these cars. In the event of a problem, the responsible car manufacturing company rather than the driver.
However, the difference between self-driving and driver assistance functions must be clearly mentioned by the company.
Director of Research Strategy at Thatcham Matthew Avery, said: "We welcome those who are forcing car manufacturers to use terminology when marketing these systems , in order to prevent motorists from being convinced that their car is fully autonomous than it is not.
Over the next 12 months we will likely see the first iterations of self-driving features on the UK.
Matthew also said: "It is significant that the Law Commission is highlighting the legalities of the driver and the way he must that his vehicle is not yet fully autonomous."
The UK Department of Transport licensed automated lane keeping devices last year.
Thanks to this system ALKS, the driver does not have to monitor the road or keep his hands on the steering wheel.
