Self-driving cars doomed to be bullied by pedestrians

For anyone that doesn't want to actually 'drive' their own car in preference to sitting back and letting it get to their destination, they may as well get on a tram,bus ,light railway system.

In infrastucture terms it makes no sense to rebuild roads so that pedestrians can't slow down autonomous vehicles to the point where they are moving no faster than a standard London traffic jam, the money would be better spent on a good public transport system.

Personally, I want to keep my old fashioned car with a steering wheel and pedals as long as possible and only relegate control to my personal robo-butler/chauffeur if I don't feel like driving. That! is the transport future that appeals to me.
