I doubt it. Once you know that can cut off a self driving car without consequences it's very tempting to do that.

What are the consequences of cutting off any other car today? There will still be people in those self driving cars, you know. Perhaps even people with a horn.
A self driving car will be for sure programmed in a way that it will avoid collisions at any cost. Another human driver on the other hand may just be an idiot and run into you.
On the other hand a self driving car would have a crystal clear record of you driving unsafely, which could be immediately uploaded to police.
