That is a stupid approach. Cars have always been coevolutionary with infrastructure and, hell, society as a whole. Why solve a problem for a point in time and its assumptions... the hard way? By adopting adaptive and coevolutionary timelines, self-driving cars and a society that uses them can "organically" (sorry for the buzzword) adopt them. And ignores multiple levels of useful intermediate achievements: stage 1: self-driving on superhighways for the long haul: a wayyyy easier task with much more controlled information, markings, protocols, risks, etc. And with massive payoffs in consumer and business transportation. stage 2: more extreme weather events, highways besides superhighways, handle commuting and congestion after that: progressively more local streets and conditions.
