I would think that an integrated dash camera and the ability for the driver to automatically upload video for reporting to law enforcement would prevent this from ever becoming an issue.

This has parallels to the situation in Russia where dashcams are more or less considered a necessity for every vehicle. See https://www.wired.com/2013/02/russian-dash-cams/

One way to manage this behavior is by having the automated car report the misbehaving cars to both DMV and insurance, have it affect registered drivers points (with some "give") as well as insurance so overly aggressive behavior results in insurance penalties.

So except for a few chronic offenders, most people would learn how to behave while driving.

We actually have insurance like that already [0], you get a generally low starting monthly rate, and it adjusts if you speed, start and stop suddenly, are shifting lanes fast, etc. You install a little chip in your car and you can see monthly feedback. If you drive "safe" you actually save a decent amount of cash.
