I wonder if having all the gear will have a positive effect. Once drivers learn it means that those are self-driving cars it can begin to acclimate drivers to having such cars on the road. And as they see how (hopefully) predictably those cars drive it will increase their comfort level until they may be willing to purchase a self-driving car for themselves. I could also see a small rise in rear end collisions as people think that they can safely tailgate a self-driving car believing that it will not stop suddenly, that it will not act in the unpredictable ways that normally make us cautious of other drivers/cars on the road.
