Now let's imagine the same scene but with the car stopping right next to thugs breaking into another car :-D

Now that you mention it, robbing a self driving car would be easy. Just stand in front of it and it'll stop for you.

Except if the car decide to drive you (the thug) to the nearest police station, bypassing human input.

I was imagining a self driving car drive by shooting but the car stopped slowed down in an inopportune moment, awkwardly

Inputs like what the humans inside the car are saying should be part of the decision making process. Like everyone inside shooting "DRIVE! DRIVE! DON'T STOP THE Fxxx CAR!". That should lower some thresholds for deciding to stop the car, as with a real human driver.
