So you need to pitch the safety. Because you're selling an item that carries much, much less possibility of causing harm than the human-driven car does, and also that allows you to reclaim your time spent commuting (in a self-driving car you could easily e.g. read a book, code or talk to people).
Selling a random person an item and asking them to give over control to said item, when the item carries the very real possibility of causing harm, is a harder sales pitch. You have to remember that not everyone is sold on technology, just for the sake of technology.
