And how does the infrastructures of our cities and roads need to change in order to accommodate it.

thats a blanket statement, really.
autonomous vehicles might be known and done, but that doesn't mean the whole technology is there. It means the tip of the iceberg, but there is a whole system underneath that needs to support it. On a system level, there was still a LOT of technology that was not / is not available yet which holds it a back, a lot more then society accepting it. A lot of these types of advancements are more technical then a layman level, but they advanced due to other products/industries pushing it forward. Yes, there is a social push back to these types of things... but technology will keep on pushing on. This won't be an overnight thing, this won't happen world wide at the same time and it won't go from 0 to 60 for full automation, but the world is definitely going that way. Whether it goes to full automation I don't know, but money-driven big companies wouldn't spend hundred billions of dollars for a pie in the sky idea.
