A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product automatically provides spatial separation between a self-driving vehicle (SDV) operating in an autonomous mode and another vehicle on a roadway based on an emotional state of at least one occupant of the SDV. One or more processors receive an emotional state descriptor for at least one occupant of the SDV. A vehicle detector on the SDV detects another vehicle within a predefined proximity of the SDV. The processor(s) issue spatial separation instructions to a control mechanisms controller on the SDV to adjust a spacing between the SDV and the other vehicle based on the emotional state descriptor for the occupant(s) in the SDV.
