I find the human vs machine scenarios that tend to dominate these discussions less interesting than the machine vs machine scenarios. There's going to be a huge shakeout as the auto industry transitions to self-driving cars and companies are going to do desperate things to stay in business. There will absolutely be self-driving cars that are marketed on their superior "safe" speed and supposed better AI to get through traffic quickly but in practice just means they cut off overly cautious cars all the time.

I think the way it will shake out is having a standardized communication protocol for driverless cars that allows them to tap into collective intelligence to make decisions together. This will probably be mandated, with testing to ensure that in certain scenarios all AIs respond in the same predictable way. Competing AIs sounds like it could quickly get out of hand. I don't think driverless cars will act as individual units for a very long time when the opportunity to have them operate collectively can produce meaningful efficiency gains. For example, drafting on freeways to reduce drag, or being in communication with local streetlights to shape traffic patterns. That's one of the great benefits of moving away from human controlled cars - collective intelligence is possible.
