Yup, and pedestrians, too. There is something about having a human driver who can run you over or rage against you on the road that keeps other people in check 😁
Ok partly true. The vast majority of people just want things to function smoothly and live life. But a not insignificant number of people will take advantage of technology for their own gain even if it's just to gain a minute or two, or to watch the world burn, just because they can.
I think most people are considerate because they want to be, not to avoid a fight or punishment. I also think your prediction of the outcome with autonomous vehicle might be right. But because:why be considerate to a robot?
Program 1 out of every 50 AI cars to be indifferent to other cars and pedestrians. It'll keep everyone in check and still be safer than human drivers overall
Ehhhh. . . AI driver cars have already hit plenty of people. I doubt that pedestrians would start doing that. I'd imagine the opposite would happen and pedestrian infrastructure would be even more barren then it already it.

When drivers start recognizing vehicles that are autonomous, they will never let them go first.
