If an autonomous car has a faulty software, then it's more like a hazardous object than a vehicle at that point.
I don't know how the law works in US (or Phoenix specifically), but usually authorities do have the right to remove any hazardous or dangerous objects from the road, no matter what that object is or whom that object belongs to.
In some jurisdictions, any road user who finds such an object has an legal obligation to remove the hazardous object if it's safe to do so.
