They're also interested in getting human drivers to buy their cars, which also makes not driving like a jerk a goal.

<cynicism>Depends on who those humans are. For a large fraction of low-IQ young males...</cynicism>

I dunno, having a self driving jerk car takes away what ever machoism one could have about driving... there's something about a car where you can go macho and drive manual to be a jerk.

I don't think it'd help sales at all if self driving cars were causing accidents while themselves evading the collision entirely.
