One hurdle that autonomous cars will have is that even if they have a track record much better than human drivers, they will make mistakes that are not normal human mistakes. One robot car that does something that seems extremely stupid to a human is much more newsworthy than a hundred humans texting while driving.

I like that I can cut them off with impunity.

Because they know where I am and what I'm doing they will avoid me, whereas human drivers might not even know what planet they are on.
