Depends. If the driver is judged to be an employee, the employer can be liable, depending on circumstances.
Extreme ends of the spectrum:
- Company didn’t and couldn’t know that the driver was too drunk/tired to drive
- Employee complained about working hours and traffic conditions; employer threatened employee with dismissal.
> Who's liable if the automated car crashes?
Again, depends. Could be the taxi company, the car owner, the manufacturer, even the driver (if they ignored zillions of warnings from the car, for example)
