Does an actor blindly get behind a car and drive not caring if he runs anyone over because it’s the set director’s job to clear the path? Is he absolve of all blame here?

If you pay attention you'll see actors rarely drive. Oh, sure, they're in a car and it's moving but more likely it's on a trailer and being towed by a professional driver. In the occasions where an actor has to drive there will be people whose responsibility it is to clear the area of anyone that could be in the way.

So yes, they would be absolved of blame. Just the same way that you would be absolved of blame if someone ran across the freeway in front of your car. Unless the actor is doing something blatantly illegal (driving drunk, for example) there will be no culpability on them as long as they were doing their job. It's someone else's job to maintain safety.

Welcome to the real world. This is how professionals act.
