I guess it depends on how the cars were programmed to learn. Is perceiving a threat something that would be in the scope of the car's programming? Would the developers have accounted for the possibility of cataloging and identifying not only firearms but also the usage of those firearms. How much damage would a car suffer from a firearm compared to a pothole at 50 mph? It would be much easier and more likely for the developers to account for hazards that affect the functionality of the car. Sensors that monitor brakes, shocks, tire pressure etc. The car could then learn to adapt to certain road types and avoid others altogether. If the cars were given AI that would concern itself with minimizing damage they would be more likely to avoid towns with the worst road care.
