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. One or more processors receive an emotional state descriptor for at least one occupant of the SDV and determine an emotional state of the occupant(s) of the SDV. A vehicle detector on the SDV detects another vehicle within a predefined proximity of the SDV. The processor(s) determine the braking abilities of the SDV and 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 of the occupant(s) in the SDV.
