What I think is most interesting about your way of looking at this is whether we'll find those sub-domains where autonomous driving makes sense versus where manual driving will remain safer. And what those domains will be.
[Grade of Automation 3 services don't need a human "driver" but they're not safe enough that we can just leave them to be used unattended like an elevator, there's a trained member of staff somewhere, probably helping tourists or checking tickets or something - the GoA 4 services are unattended, like an elevator there are humans but they're far away in a control center and you're safe enough while you wait for a human to come to where you are and fix whatever extraordinary problem the automation couldn't handle e.g. there's no electricity so you can't go anywhere.]

If it's a worse driver than me but better than average; I'd still be safer driving myself.
I'd be safer if I could force the idiots into a self driving car.
