Since no fully autonomous cars are sold and widely deployed, we do not know.
A lot of tech people are blind about fetishism of tech for its own sake. I am all in for new tech and modern inventions, but I am also surprised when people advocate for new things even when they do not work because of aesthetic reasons. Software engineers are not immune to this ("our scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should")
Short rant about self-driving ahead.
I think we will reinvent the train. Fully autonomous cars will work only in certified roads with special signage. This will offload the cost to the private car owner, as opposed to building public transport.
Otherwise, it will remain a lane assist tech, which I am perfectly fine with. IMHO until I see fully self-driving trucks I won't believe it is around the corner, since the economics for trucks make much more sense. But, since the cars can be controlled remotely via 5g, I do not know if it would ever be worth the cost to have them be fully autonomous, instead of remotely controlled by humans. Maybe the solution is a remotely controlled car by a human. Interesting times.
