A self-driving vehicle (SDV) ameliorates a vehicular mishap incurred by a second vehicle. At least one sensor on a first SDV detects a second vehicle that has been involved in a vehicular mishap. One or more processors determine a confidence level L, which is a confidence level of a mishap assessment accuracy of determining that the second vehicle has been involved in the vehicular mishap. In response to the confidence level L exceeding a predetermined value, the SDV executes an amelioration action to ameliorate a condition of the second vehicle that has been involved in the vehicular mishap.
