One, that's an unrealistic goal. We can't magically replace all human-driven cars with autopilot, so there's no point in debating in those hypotheticals. Self-driving technology will need to account for human drivers, human passengers, and human pedestrians.
Two, self-driving technology today has been a disaster of bad decisions so far. Just take Waymo and San Fransisco. Protesters can stop the cars with a stupid traffic cone. Emergency services and police over there have been dealing with Waymo cars just sitting there in the middle of the street, or worse, not honoring police blockades. This shit is not ready, and the few "self-driving" cars on the road are a public menace.
