They send it to the registered owner and treat it as a parking violation, which does not go on your driving record. The ticket also has a “it wasn’t me” box you can tick to get the fine removed when you mail it in.

This is the right answer for issues with driverless cars. Ticket the registrant/owner. The State shouldn’t have to fight with a manufacturer to ensure legality in a vehicle’s programming, that’s a losing battle that will cost ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money. Fine vehicle operators so they’ll stop buying vehicles that incur costly fines. Losing customers is the only thing a corporation will listen to.
Well also those cars are likely insured as the state law requires and if they keep getting citations, even if those fines are easy for the company to pay off, their insurance should hopefully skyrocket causing more lasting and impactful damage
