That's the problem for the 99% humans 1% driverless scenario, the inverse is equally troubling to me.

Driving currently involves a range of aggressiveness strategies, it may have hit a certain equilibrium mix of insane and polite drivers.

If 99% of the cars dodge whatever you do, then you're messing with the metagame. Suddenly driving like a maniac, forcing all the polite computers out of your way gets you everywhere faster.

If driverless systems become common, they'll almost have to be required.




As long as my self-driving car is allowed to report you to the Highway Patrol, I can't see this becoming a problem. It's just another one of those issues that's a lot more easily solved than what's been done to get driverless cars to their current state of capability.
