Driverless cars are part of a system that includes GPS, mapping, OTA firmware updates and updates about traffic conditions, regulations, weather, etc.
Errors or malicious attacks upstream could lead to disruptive or even dangerous behavior by a lot of cars at the same time.

Unintentional errors in the things you list don’t feel like they’re huge threats. I would Imagine incidents with at most tens of cars and a relatively low risk at that. Not good, but not a scalable threat.
