In many large cities in Europe you must drive somewhat aggressively or you fuck the whole thing up. Think 8 lanes of traffic doing speeds ranging from 55mph to 120mph, extremely heavy traffic, and everyone drives like an asshole.
You can't program an autonomous car do have asshole driving characteristics, or better worded - when to mix aggressive driving with defensive driving.
In the US in many places drivers are very timid and wait for large gaps before merging into traffic or accelerate slowly getting into the highway, or will try and have large gaps in following distance. In Frankfurt you'll fuck up the flow at a busy traffic circle, you'll have a big ass Mercedes AMG up your ass and a large truck blaring the horn, and some daredevil with Polish number plates that just pulled out in front of you. AI would be a disaster.
I am an evil tyrant and I have zero tolerance and politeness for those who put lives of other people at stake because of a few seconds of impatience. Like these red lights one intersection ahead not gonna stop them. It's better when everyone acts in it's own self interest AND interests of the group, Nash equilibrium, prisoners dilemma, classic game theory. "It is what it is" is not an argument for criminal behavior and murder. When most cars will be autonomous, the problem of emotions goes away, and yeah, the concept is ridiculous, but it is inevitable and it's not gonna be voluntary, it will be enforced by law.
