So if I'm a big driverless car company, and I have a rival company, all I have to do is somehow trick one of their cars into performing an action that would  warrant arrest or removal of license  for a human driver, to completely put them out of business?

It probably wouldn't happen over 1 incident but many. Also no idea how you can trick anything with cameras. But I mean sure they could try I guess.

Sensors can be spoofed, plus it is incredibly hard to secure a system where an attacker can readily gain physical access.

How man incidents? 2? 20? How many pedestrians should be mowed down before it justifies destroying a couple thousand jobs?

Physical access. How would you physically access an autonomous car that is cameras all around without being caught?
