I personally think that autonomous car driving is much harder than a 80/20 problem, it’s more likely a 95/5 problem - that is the last 5% will need 95% of the effort. Thus, I can envisage autonomous cars on specially equipped roads (mainly highways) with the necessity to turn over the driving to humans at other times.
