The freedoms and risks of personal vehicles distribute with the usage base, allowing a sense of both autonomy and a commons under God's laws. This makes the risk morally and ethically comprehensible and mitigateble.
The term robot implies an autonomous alien device beholden to unknown laws, which is incomprehensible.
The argument that the robot is in fact subject to known laws dictated by megalomaniacal greedy tech bros does nothing to build trust in the devices.
You can't even trust your TV or refrigerator not to exploit you on their behalf.
