I'd be comfortable with a car that only attempts self-driving after having driven a road 3-5 times. And only below certain speeds such that the likelihood of a fatality/serious accident for myself, a pedestrian, cyclist, or other driver - would be very, very low (<0.00001% etc.). If that meant the car driving back roads and avoiding even busier town streets, and drove 30 miles an hour max, there are certain situations when I'd be fine with that.
As long as a car can handle all scenarios at 25 mph (a kid running out into the street with a ball, and anticipation of more complex events that would require pulling over and passing back control in an easy, non-jarring manner), I would think this still makes sense. What would this do? It would force new street creation (and perhaps extra shoulder space for pulling over) for these slow-ass autonomous vehicles.
But we'd all be safe and able to work or do other things during our commutes or on the way to do errands, etc.
