Society should begin with autonomous trains. They run on a track. Easy.

Then we move to autonomous shipping. Wide open spaces, and a Harbor Master already docking these things. Not too difficult.

Perhaps airline travel, if only cargo planes like UPS and FedEx employ autonomy next.

The last chapter of autonomy should be cars and trucks. There are just so many variables.

IMO this is the logical path except politics scrambles this order. A lot of union jobs are threatened by autonomous trains, ships, and planes. Then there's the desire by politicians and bureaucrats to control their citizenry. I can already envision governments disabling your autonomous vehicle if they deem your behavior evil enough.
