That is an excellent question.

If you've ever driven Berlin inner city during rush our with cyclists driving on the road, vans parking on regular traffic lane to unload (no joke), people jaywalking, etc. you'll probably find it hard to believe that any autonomous driving system should handle that in the near future.

I just love berlin streets, I believe the future is actually without cars... I don't see it as outdated, but the future. We have so many bikers and everything goes generally smooth.

How about making roads only for bike lanes, having proper metro stations and public utility(such as ambulances?).

Probably by stopping a lot and moving very slowly. Pedestrians and cyclists will soon have the upper hand by a huge margin once they figure out that autonomous cars will never run them over and they can herd those cars like a border collie with sheep.

Exactly, but who's going to use a system that gives you the very true feeling that you could do its job much better?
