Agree. 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.
