So much of urban pedestrian-driver interactions depend on confirming eye contact and determining intent from body language.
I don't see how an automated car with no driver can deal with the "are they crossing or not?" question that you get every few minutes while driving in a city. Both because body language is a hard problem to get right, and because there's a lot of non-verbal communication that a driverless car doesn't have a way of participating in.
