In many countries it's much, much easier for the government to block out an area and ban human drivers.
They will likely be the first ones to have a true deployed fully autonomous system, while the democracies will bicker and lobby back and forth about it for another few decades.

They have no trouble keeping animals and pedestrians off the high speed rail tracks, or keeping public away from military installations, for example.
