From the article parent linked: "It doesn't take a science fiction writer to understand why regulators might be nervous about the user-modifiable firmware on self-driving cars"

It's not just regulators who are nervous! What if someone modifies the firmware in their self-driving car and introduces a bug that causes the car to crash and kill someone?

Then presumably we do the same for that as we do for other illegal modifications or reckless driving today.
