Actually, that's not even a fair comparison. Self-driving cars still involves putting people in the hands of an AI that is physically driving a car, putting both the passengers and people on the outside in danger. The mechanics of driving a car are far too complex for an AI right now, and won't be anywhere near "safe" for another 50 years. There are just too many edge cases, too much unpredictable behavior from humans, and roads or road signs that challenge even humans from figuring out.
Human porn involves physically bringing people over to do the act, with all of the human criminality and exploitation that could entail. AI porn removes the human element almost completely. There is nothing to exploit if no humans are physically present.
One, that's an unrealistic goal. We can't magically replace all human-driven cars with autopilot, so there's no point in debating in those hypotheticals. Self-driving technology will need to account for human drivers, human passengers, and human pedestrians.
Two, self-driving technology today has been a disaster of bad decisions so far. Just take Waymo and San Fransisco. Protesters can stop the cars with a stupid traffic cone. Emergency services and police over there have been dealing with Waymo cars just sitting there in the middle of the street, or worse, not honoring police blockades. This shit is not ready, and the few "self-driving" cars on the road are a public menace.
