What kind of question is that? Of course I wouldn't be happy. Would you? What does me getting out of the car have to do with anything?

Your stated argument against allowing human control of the vehicle is that it presents a safety issue, implying that you could be car jacked.

You could be car jacked while riding in a taxi/lyft/uber/etc. It’s unclear why you think this any different.

Usually a taxi/lyft/uber has the doors locked and if someone tried to open them the driver would drive away.

In this situation of yours it sounds like anyone can just walk up to a AV and open the door and get in.
