Like HOV lanes, will there be the introduction of autonomous only lanes? Will there be "Autonomous only" zones of urban transport infrastructure?

I've been thinking about that sort of thing for years, probably due to some of the sci-fi movies that I've seen.

The first time that I saw this, I thought "hmm, 'technology lanes', I wonder what that's going to eventually turn into?" Today there's no discussion of autonomous vehicles, but it's not much of a leap to think that could be enabled practically at the flip of a switch.

excerpts

The Texas Department of Transportation is adding new "technology lanes" that will allow certain vehicles to bypass traffic on U.S. 75 between Dallas and Collin counties.

High-occupancy vehicles, low-emission vehicles and motorcycles will be allowed to use the lanes during peak hours.

Between the lines: U.S. 75 isn't a toll road, but its technology lanes will connect two major North Texas tollways.
