I wouldn't worry about all this "autonomous vehicle" hype. While there is no doubt there will be quite a number of technological advances derived from these "experiments", it's all a very long way off.
What isn't a long way off is the swirl of hype that generates stock purchases and allow those "Behind the Curtain" to increase their wealth.
Of course, YMMV

I don't think it is a long way off. Tesla alone is planning to put 5,000 to 10,000 cars a month on the road that could potentially cause us motorcyclists harm. Then, add in all of the other manufacturers that will play catch up to them... scary. The way a large number of people drive (or really don't drive) today, I see autonomous driving becoming a requirement rather than a luxury.
I hope I am wrong, but I don't think I am.

Wonder how Dean Graham would view this.. .. .
My prediction: motorcycles will be restricted to roads without automated driving infrastructure and/or the insurance costs will make driving a non-autonomous vehicle, whether two, three, or four wheel, simply prohibitive.
A robot would probably have paid more attention to it's lane discipline and not hit him. Robots won't be perfect for a long time, but they don't text, drink liquor or get bored.
I believe there are enough Americans who will still want to drive their cars/trucks/SUV's, rather than be chauffeured about by lobotomized cages.
