I think most people agree with a big chunk of that.

The question is, does the path to full autonomy necessarily lie through partial autonomy? And related to that - is partial autonomy actually more dangerous than no autonomy at all?

Personally I think that full autonomy might be easier to hit from scratch on prepared roads, with sensors built into the environment, and the roads/lanes not shared with pedestrians/animals/animals driving cars.

I would consider making the equivalent of e.g. the London low emissions zone into an autonomous only zone, with the roads, environment and static cameras providing assistance to the cars, possibly centrally guided, and extending it out from there.
