I don't think that would work. First, nobody wants to drive a taxi. Unless it was really cheap most people would just get a lyft and not worry about following guidance from their taxi. Second, most of the people at risk of dying from a malfunctioning self driving car will be people outside the car. Third, how are you going to convince regulators your car is safe if you're making concessions like that? The government is a slow beuracracy and won't take kindly to halfway solutions that will force them to do things over once things are actually ready. And as pessimistic as I'm being, I don't think its that bad of an idea. I just wouldn't put my money on it.
