Ok so your problem with fixed infrastructure is that it is fixed, and your solution is to create a slightly different fixed infrastructe that has many of the same problems, but instead its more expensive, less tested, less safe and less efficent?

> The answer is that people want cars.

Actually in many cities in the world, only a minor % of people own a car. And even those that do own a car don't use if for that many trips.

> They want to drive.

Driving in cities is almost universally hated and is proven to cause lots of stress.

> and face unpredictable schedules and delays.

Because in cars its impossible to have unpredictable delays, roads are always completely open and there is never any concention?

In most cities in the world, public transport has less unpredictable delays compared to driving.

> Autonomous road infrastructure is a sensible, incremental improvement. And in fact city buses will tend to benefit from it the most.

A sensible incredmental improvment are regular bus lanes with regular trolley buses.
