"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

The only thing that seriously concerns me about self-driving cars is the possibility of a bad actor (foreign government, terrorist group etc) putting something nasty in the programming (e.g. via a virus or sabotage at the production facility) that at a specific time causes all self-driving cars in a country / world to try and kill everyone simultaneously by causing car crashes throughout the country/world. It's an unprecedented attack vector.
You watch, this issue will be the most important going forward.
Hacking will also be a problem as you point out. But the legality and moral choices the car makes will be the primary discussion about whether to let autonomous vehicles loose on the world.

Robots have their first human kill - it will only get worse from here...Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Of course in reality the car would have no idea who was who.

Theoretically a well-created computer program could function pretty much flawlessly and reduce the road toll to zero or almost zero, and thus save many many lives.
How many pedestrians have been hit and killed by human drivers in the time since this incident I wonder?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
