In the long run we'll need AV tech to expand/maintain bus service, which is a necessary step for bootstrapping cities to higher transit mode share and eventually rail. Ludditism against AVs is consigning North America to SOV sprawl forever.

I'd like to see a few US cities experiment with auctioning curb ROW for private jitney/shuttle/bus service so the private sector has a more of a reason to invest in AV bus tech. You'd probably want some mandated payment integration so it isn't a headache for riders.
