I agree we'll see more driver aids... Thus keeps the driver legally responsible.
I predict these 'autonomous' vehicles will quickly need their own section of the roadway for legal reasons. That means that existing roads will lose lanes to accommodate them.

We already have cycle lanes (that carry very few people outside of rush-hours) & these have appropriated road & parking space - this is an example of how easy its been to commandeer property that been created and paid for by traditional motorists.
