I think one of the things that has to be considered with autonomous cars is the tipping point in terms of their numbers. It seems to me that that the first, lonely, autonomous cars will/do have a harder time technologically than subsequent versions because they'll have to comprehend/compute more by themselves. Once 1000s of cars are on the road all communicating with one another ..and pedestrian mobile devices, signs, nearby buildings etc things could get easier. An economy of scale that is a result of ubiquitous mobile devices and sensors.
