We already have HOV or Carpool lanes.

I figure eventually we will just convert those to Autonomous Vehicle lanes, or build a new lane for them, like they do with buses.

This gives the AV's a "safe" environment in which to travel, they can follow each other much more closely than other cars, and they can have their own exits that don't need stupid-human-tools like traffic lights, etc.

I can't wait. I'm tired of sharing the roads with assholes. I just wanna get in, listen to a podcast, and arrive at my destination.
