Yeah, the mix of driverless and driverful is going to be tough.
Automated cars will have predictable and known algorithms - and if the
car world is anything like the computer world, eventually one company's
algorithm will eventually prevail in marketshare like the Chrome browser
has.  Human drivers, meanwhile, can't be relied upon to do anything
rational at all.

Meanwhile the "they" in "they should build roads" dooms the rest of the
sentence.  In America at least we seem unable to even maintain the roads
and bridges we've got.  No money, it seems!  Too bad we spent it all on
supporting 'democracy' in fucking Afghanistan - what a collossal waste
of cash no American government has yet been held accountable for, and
Afghanistan remains a version of the shithole it has always been, ready
to collapse into an archipelago of warlord-run drug states the second
the foreign militaries leave.

Sorry for the divergent conversation, now back to cars:  how about a
dedicated driverless lane, much the way in America we were able to build
out HOV lanes, which in fact would provide the lower-traffic, dedicated
alternative we'd need on the highway (no luck in villages/cities
though).
