The computer has no control over external factors - like pedestrians walking out in front of the car, animals running about on the carriageway etc. etc. It can only react to what's placed in front of it (same as a human) but the machine will make the life/death decisions rather than the driver. In the case that an autonomous car runs over a pedestrian who is to blame? The owner (operator? what's the term to use?) of the car or the manufacturer? That's a whole can of worms right there!
