I'm not sure that human+robot would be better than robot alone. Eg. The human is in control and starts moving close to the adjacent lane without indicating. Does the robot (a) assume the human driver is changing lanes and so turns on the indicator light; (b) take control of the car and move it back to the center of the current lane; (c) do nothing and let the driver change lanes without indicating? The ambiguity in the human driver's intentions means the robot might make a decision that is less safe than if it was in complete control.
