So other road users' safety is reliant on jerky and panicky responses to perceived danger as well as real emergencies.
That sounds like a nice safe system.
For the record, I don't agree. I feel that the average person who would choose to use a self-driving will tend to be overly relaxed and trusting, not what I'd call a backseat driver.
The kind of person who is a backseat driver wouldn't trust the car's driving and would prefer to control it themselves, and thus wouldn't be using the self-driving feature in the first place.
