Since you brought up self driving cars, here's a question for you I've pondered. You are driving home late at night, and a person steps in front of you car, which stops. A person steps behind your car, too, and to the side. The person to the side robs you. How will this be prevented?

And yes, I look forward to this technology, the sooner the better. But I don't want petty thieves harassing me, either.
