The autonomous car could automatically send the video and sensor data of illegal human driving behavior to the appropriate authorities. It seems pretty stupid to drive dangerously around a car that's recording so much information.

Did you just suggest that these drones should be programmed to record our activities and report them to the police?

Google has a patent on algorithms for detecting dangerous drivers:
https://www.google.com/patents/US20110202305
Free idea I've kicked around: Give away free dashcams to drivers that upload their footage nightly to Google (with user's permission), have Google process the data to find high risk drivers, sell that information to their insurance companies to properly re-price their premiums. Take a cut, share said cut with dashcam drivers.
Drive the price of human driven vehicle insurance high enough to where self-driving vehicles are the logical choice.
(As a side note, I wonder how autonomous vehicles will handle lane splitting motorcycles? They get pretty close to the cars to either side.)
