Seriously....there will probably be two tiers.

That is the idea I thought of, since much of thr current infrastructure, would be brutal to self driving cars. A human can dodge a pothole. A sensor can break, or have a delayed resonse causing the car to bottom out, it the hole is deep enough.
It is no fun to drive on crappy roads, with traditional cars, but at least you have the option to around obstacles, where the automated car may refuse to leave the current lane or simply not sense the hole.
