The main problem right now is -- there is no way for you to know how any particular autonomous driving system will handle it. With every second auto maker and start-up claiming to have independently developed super-duper auto-drive technology, I think it will get worse before it gets better.
Without standardised testing frameworks (ie. sending my car's autonomous driving system through a simulator to see what it will do), I remain ... unconvinced.
Being an industrial programmer for 30 years, I think I'll continue to err on the side of assuming incompetence and failure, until proven otherwise.
In the same regard I think in the next 20 years there will not be human driven trucks, buses and anything over a certain weight, because the cost of life to not do that will be over whelming.
This is because one thing. They all can stop quickly and will have their own lane on all Interstates.
