Again, this does not address the nightmare scenarios. As blowback against robocars increase, these will be more common. Angry people using simple techniques to block the vehicle, trying to break in through the windows or just screaming at you. You know and I know that while a human driver could often push past them and get to safety (the driver wants to get away too!), these vehicles are trivial to totally immobilize. And then what happens? Or trapped by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere at night when the vehicle goes into dumbsh*t mode and Central can't immediately help. By the time Central Control can get authorities there, maybe you're dead? Eh? There is no technological fix for this. Zero.
