Take all cars of that make off the road for being a danger, fine the company operating unsafe cars for a chunk of their revenue, suspend their licenses until they prove extensively that their vehicles have been made safe for traffic (the burden of proof for which would have to be far higher than a human driver, since we can't even assume a base level of human reason).
Would this kill the company? Possibly. Would I shed a tear? Only if those same cars end up driving again without better security measures.
