Giving human[1][2] drivers better situational awareness[3] is the future. Specifically open[4]:
a. Windshields that clean the inside as well as the outside.
b. Better eyeglasses[5].
c. User controllable hi-res HUD thermal IR overlay.
d. Headlights with adaptive notch filters so the oncoming vehicle can pick an empty spectral range... without the source being monochromatic (with required adaptive filters on the recieving end)... and/or really good coronagraph's.
e. Brake control[6].
Any entity capable of driving[7] in a population of humans (including adversarial humans) is sentient[8], and has real skin in the game. It would be unethical to lock one in a car:

[8] The idea that non-biological machines can have 'self' is a window into modern mass transformation. Please checkout the analog FPGA experiments linked above.
