One problem with this experiment is that, I'm guessing, you monitored the car very closely, ready to take over at any moment, and, in fact, did so in a few cases.

But this raises the question, what would have actually happened if you just let the car be? Would it have gotten into accidents? Or maybe it just drives in this alien unfamiliar way but is actually safer?

As long as the roads are a mixed environment of autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles, driving in an unfamiliar way is by definition unsafe because other road users can't anticipate what your car is going to do. That's not even mentioning pedestrians or cyclists.

Sounds like great questions to answer in a safe controlled test environment before letting it loose on public roadways.
