> The solution is to change the rules of the road, have protected lanes for self-driving buses and taxis and cars, and enforcement. We reached this conclusion about 150 years ago and came up with rails. In addition, you get cheap electricity so reliably that modern trains don't even bother having batteries. Yes, rail lines as they are deployed now might not be the ideal future proof solution, but something similar which allows 'cars' to go off track for the last mile but otherwise not incur wear and tear on your own tires and engine/transmission for the long haul might be a practical idea.
