Where I live, driving involves a lot of inter-driver negotiation. As in, certain driving situations mean that a driver will cede legal right of way voluntarily because it would be a mess if they didn't. If I were pulling out in traffic in front of an automated car, I might behave differently or change lanes differently, because I know the automated system would try to prevent an accident. If I assume the driver doesn't care, because they're aren't driving there's a very different dynamic at work.
Its similar to how I can be very "rude" to automated phone systems, and it can be jarring when an actual person comes back on the line.
