You’re still the driver in the self-driving car. If someone honks, you have pedals and a wheel in front of you. It always comes down to driver neglect. It’s like blaming the cruise control for speeding, but giving cruise control more responsibilities.
Eh, it’s probably good to have regardless?
It’s less about being careful around the car and more about how you might interact with it.
We could use some new standards with how many things have changed in recent years brake lights on electric vehicles being another thing to consider

The standard should endure past this stage. It’s not necessary now, but it would be good to start getting used to some kind of a symbol now
Eventually when cars move past this stage, then we’ll need it

Today, sure.
But in 20-50 years, switching to manual driving may be a whole process. It may even be illegal in a full self driving car. In an environment of of mixed automated and manual driving, having indicator lights for the autos makes a lot of sense.

“Gentle horn” sounds like a 80s romantic pop song.
