Well I believe cause implies necessity because cause is a logical relation. So "cause" implies logical necessity instead of factual necessity. I can still cause myself to take an umbrella based on the counterfactual that it might rain. A self driving car can swerve (hopefully) based on the belief that it might hit a pedestrian.

See, we can't agree on the ambiguity of "cause".
