If we're going to remove human judgment from driving with autonomous vehicles, we should consider special lanes just for them.

Kind of like the HOV lane. Driving is already such a mess that introducing driverless vehicles, especially 40-ton semi-trucks, could be dangerous.

The only upside to a car crash with a driverless vehicle vs. a driver(ed?) vehicle is that there is no human to decide to hit and run. Unless it was just a fender bender, and the AV doesn't register the damage. Then I guess it would just keep driving. Hmm.

On the positive side, freeing up driving time and optimizing fuel and emissions sounds pretty awesome.
