About the only real use I could see for self-driving vehicles is a glorified taxi service around a large scale corporate or educational campus.
Putting them out on public roads at this stage in the game is asking for accidents. Software glitch, bugs etc.

Exactly. One could pack a lot of ordinance in these and send them on their merry way.
The cars could be commanded to lock the door and take undesirable occupants to who the fuck knows where.
...doggy winks...
...no need to kill yourself...
...just send the car into the crowd....
Accident is right. An autonomous Uber vehicle killed a pedestrian a few years ago.
