As cool as the idea of self driving cars are, I don't trust it not to become a future where script kiddies and novice hackers take control of vehicles and crash them for fun if AI gets involved.

Don't even get me started on if a country had AI self driving cars and an enemy nation hacks the AI and sends directions that cause the car to end up damaging itself without you knowing. Or just uses it to cause all the vehicles in an area to crash and not be able to deploy airbags.
