You have a point on theft, but I was thinking more of liability - if

In late 2023 I read the book My Murder by Katie Williams. It's a
near-future setting, where some people never learned to drive and use a
type of self-driving "uber" service. Others do know how to drive and
have manually-driven cars.

Some of the technology in the book seems like it would be 10-20 years
from now, other aspects way in advance of current.
