Will we need safety systems in the vehicles when they are all autonomous and programmed not to crash?

And nothing goes wrong with computers does it.
People dropping rocks ( or themselves ) off bridges.
Oil or black ice on a roadway.
Hackers deciding it will be "fun" to cause mayhem.
Recent events would indicate we cant protect any systems these days, so i dont put full faith that software will be the total answer.
As i keep thinking, why ( after trillions of dollars have been spent on automation ) do we still have pilots in passenger planes.
I can easily see auto cars working in a large metro CBD type area
but outside that, there wont be enough sensors to cope with every eventuality.
