So you want those "generally incompetent" humans designing a self driving car and network and not give you last minute control to over-ride it should the software be defective or fail? OK, whatever.
Seriously, though, I still think full self driving is going to be very much more difficult than some in this forum are projecting. I think you can design some sort of automated driving system for limited areas, based on a designed network, much like light rail. But to attain full self driving in all weather conditions, in all areas, is a formidable task. There are just so many variables and unexpected emergencies that can arise, and the car must either be programmed ahead to recognize them all, or must have AI competent enough to determine what to do in an unplanned emergency.
The easiest and most effective way to solve all of those problems is to remove as many of the unquantifiable variables as you can.
