How will the police patrol roads when all these cars are self-driving?
Police forces will either need less patrol officers or they'll need to re-assign them somewhere other than roads. Or maybe surveillance inside vehicles to prevent any crimes being committed whilst in-transit.
What happens when someone decides to drive a non-autonomous car on the road? If they are banned someone is going to need to pull them over. If there are less police officers patrolling the roads, who will be doing all this enforcing of self-driving cars?
I like futuristic projections in that we really don't know how things will settle after a shake-up.
