There might be a few "demonstration" projects, probably on stretches like the future Beltway HOT lanes where there are also regular lanes, but it's just not gonna happen on a widespread basis. Crikey7 and Helen made alot of good points, but to elaborate on "it's all or nothing", used cars will not be able to operate on driverless roads. It may be technically possible to retrofit newer cars to driverless technology, but it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one. So you're mandating that people buy a new, expensive car if they want to use any driverless road. I doubt many Amercians would like that.
