A lot of things. One is the "AI" which isn't so much "I" and quite error prone and hard to impossible to analyze in detail and/or debug. The idea that bad people (be it trolls, criminals or spooks) could force deliberate malfunctioning of/misclassifications in AIs and thus cause crashes is off-putting, on top of the general "normal" errors you can expect.
Then the business/political aspects of it, like Tesla demanding somebody who bought a used car pay again for Autopilot.
We already saw crashes by Autopilot users not paying any attention whatsoever (granted AP isn't fully "self-driving", but still).
On top of that, just like with better car safety and even with the introduction safety belt laws, we saw a stark uptick in accidents, that usually affected people outside the car the most, such as pedestrians and bikers. So me being a pedestrian quite often, I dread in particular the semi-self-driving/assisted driving car tech like autopilot, and have a good skepticism when people tell me that the (almost) perfect fully self-driving cars are just around the corner. If my skepticism turns out to be unwarranted, great.
And this tech will keep many consumer cars around longer, in disfavor of public transportation. The one good-ish thing that came out of SARS-CoV-2 is the reduction in air pollution (I am not saying it is a net positive because of that, far from it). The air smells noticeably nicer around here and the noise is also down.

I wish people would stop trotting this one out. Bad actors can deliberately cause humans to crash just as easily if not moreso. If they don't, it's only because such behavior is punishable.
Ah, yes, the ethical murderer who only wants to fuck up just that one car but who sincerely worries about the other drivers on the road. That's the demographic you're concerned about? So how does indiscriminately trying to trick generally available systems specifically target only one person without risking other drivers?
If you're interested in replying in a condescending manner and attacking strawmen arguments I never made, be my guest, but I have no desire to further discuss this with you.
