Exactly how you stop people from flagging a human driven taxi with plights for help and then robbing or raping the passenger. This doesn't seem like a problem specific to self driving.

A Taxi has a sober human driver with professional experience to handle such situations.

A piece of software with some cameras and actuators is really not the same.
