To that point, what if one - just one - autonomous vehicle malfunctions on a crowded interstate. If there was no accident but it just stopped.

At least with a person, you can get the vehicle off the road and call for assistance. I assume an autonomous vehicle could call as well, but you get the point. What about flat tires? mechanical malfunctions?
