I imagined that self-driving cars would involve a narrowing of the parameter space: more consistent driving behavior, maybe some fixed and standardized cues/signals on roads, the expectation of human takeover for novel situations like construction zones, maybe even a shift toward a sort of herd efficiency in traffic.
