  Note the same thing will work with regular cars, too: if someone places a cone on my car, I surely won't drive until I remove it.

  The only difference is that human driver can get out of the car, examinine a situation, and remove the cone. So I guess this makes self-driving cars an equivalent of human disabled/handicapped drivers?

  There’s a big difference between protest and vandalism. They are just Luddites.
