There seems to be an implicit assumption that people who constantly jockey for position and those who value safety and orderly progress will end up using essentially the same driverless car OS.
Unless the field is heavily regulated, I imagine that car manufacturers are going to tune and market their cars according to their existing brand identities: safety, economy, performance, "thrill", and so forth.
It'd definitely be an improvement, but I also think it'll take decades to work out the kinks.
I think once we have good statistics on how different strategies affect traffic and accidents, some states will fairly quickly respond with requirements for how driverless cars must act based on that data.
