Of course, they are!!! The author of this article wants to convince the readers of the of handling dangerous edge cases! Edge cases?? This is like putting up a scarecrow! Call the ghost busters please!
There is a good chance there will be significantly fewer cars on the roads than today not least because of more telecommuting and home delivery. Car sharing may become much more prevalent. Why own your car anymore?
The roadways will be redesigned once a majority (or very significant share) of self driving cars are in use specifically to meet the requirements of self driving cars.
By the time self driving cars are affordable and easily available, technology will have progressed to such an extent that e.g. you can not run a red light anymore, you can not exceed speed limits anymore and much more! Drunk or intoxicated driving not possible anymore or it does not matter anymore etc. etc.
"... But will self-driving vehicles actually be safer? The biggest issue for the automotive industry revolves around handling unexpected situations that arise from edge cases. In fact, there are two new automotive safety standards, ISO 26262 and UL 4600, that attempt to address these edge cases. However, these standards are not prescriptive, and regulatory agencies are not requiring compliance with these or any other standard for autonomous vehicles. Worse, as I’ll explain below, there are good reasons to believe that some types of autonomous vehicles may not be capable of handling these edge cases."
