Self driving cars only make sense to me as a replacement for taxi services. That is, you don't own and don't maintain the car and you don't care where the car is. You call it when you need it and it drives away when you don't. I can't see this realized until we avoid the uphill battle of not running over pedestrians and deciding which one to spare in case you cannot avoid running one over. One way to avoid this battle that I see is completely outlawing pedestrians on the road. Then you have cyclists and similar. What do we do about those ? Considering the above I don't think driverless cars solve a problem that we have.
