Uh - maybe auto accidents and deaths for a starter
With human-driven cars, crashes result from mistakes made by drivers. With computer-driven cars, crashes result from bugs and vulnerabilities in software. Without wide deployment it's pretty speculative to assume the latter will necessarily be less than the former. At least with current technology there is no way for a malicious attacker to simultaneously cause thousands of car wrecks from the comfort of his sofa.
