I think driverless anything won’t work. Pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders don’t generally get in the way of motor vehicles, due to the very real fear of getting hit by one.If autonomous vehicles must be able to avoid everything, sooner or later, people will gain enough confidence/stupidity to walk in the middle of the road with gay abandon, leaving the vehicles unable to get anywhere because they will be performing emergency stops every 20 yards.

It wont be long before people realise the vehicle will stop for them every time, no matter what. Plus the fact in city centres or busy high streets, when people see a vehicle stopped they will all pile onto the road to get across while the vehicle just has to sit there.
