While technically right, you'll never be able to get anywhere in a big city if you drive like that.

Immaterial. I don't want self driving cars driving like Bostonians or worse, New yorkers. Self driving cars need to follow the law, drive defensively, and be conservative. If that means that they take 10 additional minutes to get to their destination so what? The alternative is that the car kills someone because of impatience, that is to say an improperly weighted time value function, which I would think no one wants.
