Here's the deal: Self-driving cars will succeed, but only when relegated to dedicated, communal, self-driving equivalents of HOV lanes. In a controlled environment, when it's only necessary to deal with exceptions, self-driving cars will rule. Outside the HOV lane, self-driving cars will be more like GPS-Assist++. Human required, but the broadstrokes navagation off-loaded to the computer. The last mile problem of figuring out where to park, last minute adjustments, etc., will still be human-led.
