A person in security told me that a big fear they have is car bombs. You would now be able to send groups of cars to a location without risking human life. That us good enough reason to not want self driving cars. I still think some of the functionality can be used for accident prevention.

Would that also have been a good enough reason not to want regular cars?

  Well, that would require at least one suicide bomber. Its a legitimate concern, you wouldnt want a car getting hacked and doing all kinds of stuff, like deliberately causing an accident.

  Yeah that's a bit like not allowing mobile phones because they can detonate bombs.

Car accidents kill orders of magnitude more people than terrorists do. I think even if the number of car bombings jumped to 10 times its current level with autonomous cars society would still likely come out ahead.

Because setting up a remote control car with a camera is currently impossible? That's trivially easy in comparison to forcing an autonomous car to do something dangerous.
