The urban autocar networks will have perfectly designed and manufactured software and hardware and infrastructure, will never wear out, will never need maintenance, and will never be monitored by humans?

There are two type of mishaps with trains.

Others cross the tracks or decide to commit suicides.
Wrong change of tracks when a train hits another train since it was wrongly put on that track by human error.

Such cases do not happen when we have urban network with two single direction tracks.
Second type mishaps happen when train jumps the track or is derailed. This is due to old tracks not being maintained or train going above the defined speed limits.

Mm.  All's well if the car is moving in a perfectly controlled space.  As of yet, the wide world is not a perfectly controlled space.  

Heck, even trains have nasty accidents from time to time, and steel rails are a much more controlled space than hundreds of thousands of miles of public highway can ever be.

Automated cars do not depend only on maps to guide them. They have more than one set of duplicated redundancy providing sensors, radars and sonars to keep track of the surrounding, especially towards the direction they are moving in.

I wonder who takes the legal hit if an automated car causes an accident by following its mapping software. Map company, political subdivision that provided the data, software retailer, car manufacturer, or human non-driver?

Is this trip really necessary? No, but it's possible (sort of), so we're going there.
