Another issue is that if autonomous vehicles are able to safely negotiate a city without hitting pedestrians it won’t take long before pedestrians figure they’re safe - and will do as they please.

City centres will be gridlocked quickly with cars waiting forever while the pedestrians ignore them.

The one thing that keeps pedestrians off the roads is the knowledge that some human drivers -esp large vehicles - might not give way.
