To make truly safe and effective autonomous cars, I believe the traffic environment has to change, to accomodate the cars. Special markings, signage, separation, etc. In the end, human drivers will have to be banned.
At some point in this transition, we might as well have gone for more efficient rail-bound PRT instead of trying to fit automated traffic into our made-for-humans, mixed-with-humans traffic environment.
