I definitely don't want people to "hack" their cars and drive on the same road as me.

  But they already do through third party modifications.

  "Hacking" of cars has been always extremely popular, and you share the roads with people who modify their cars every time you drive. Why should that change now?

    The difference is that it's quite hard to accidently make a mechanical device dangerous for the most part. You can ruin your brakes for example, but you get mechanical feedback of that happening and you know when to be careful. If you write your own DIY electric power steering firmware, and it crashes or gets stuck it can just suddenly fail on the road and you're dead.

    The status quo in car safety is pretty bad. A big hope for autonomous vehicles is that they could dramatically reduce accidents.
