I doubt choosing to stick up a vehicle covered in cameras with someone who likely isn't even carrying cash is anyone's idea of a good payoff.

    idk i think plenty of people carry expensive stuff on them

    what a thief could actually get for them is another matter but clearly that doesnt stop them from trying

    The doors aren't going to open from the outside, and authorities would be alerted immediately. Breaking the glass on a car window or holding people up at gun point... Yeah. Easier in the parking lot of any gas station, grocery store, neighborhood, Walmart, Mall, Jewelry store, movie theater. Wherever really. The people can get out of the car in an emergency just like any other car. Running someone down with a car is not the answer to many situations.

    Affluent people taking a driverless car from the shopping district would absolutely be targets.

    Put yourself in a drug addicts shoes, or just a thief's shoes. How would you make this work?

    It doesnt take much creativity, and the people who would do this type of thing are not known to be short on creativity.
