The future promised by autonomous vehicles

I lone for the time when my car will drive by it self so that I can spend my time on more productive things. But this is really only one aspect of what autonomous vehicles promises. Some other things that will happen are

• Infrastructure utilization will become much much much more efficient. For commuters this will for example mean that a 2+2 lane highway of today, will be a 3+1 lane highway in the morning, and 1+3 in the evening. Or any other combination that will be optimal for the situation. We will go from a TDMA system to OFDMA.
• Trucks will not be present on the streets at daytime. Since transportation can be done at any time of the day, rush hour will be reserved for commuters and other times of the day the streets will be utilized by other vehicles.
• In the more near-time it will be forbidden for human drivers to drive on certain streets. To begin with, on highways, where autonomous vehicles will provide much higher safety.
• Vehicles will be controlled by open source software such as Baidus Apollo. Closes source alternatives will dominate initially, but they will not be able to compete in the long run, but open source will take over, both due to superior security/safety and price.
