I think by far the biggest danger with self-driving cars won't be how "accurate" they are at driving - I'm sure they'll be much better at that - but hacking. We'll enter an age you could view someone's location in real-time (GPS) and then be able to kill them with potentially relatively low ties back to yourself.
Granted, Google's security is about as good as it gets for most stuff, but what about companies like Audi, BMW [1], Daimler, Ford...Toyota [2]? Many people will still buy cars from them well into the future.
