OTOH it is easy to teach human drivers to behave carefully and differently when they encounter a self driving car. They could even require special marking or color on the cars. People learn to be careful with trains, trams etc so i don't see why they won't learn to behave more rationally when a SD car is passing by.

Trains and trams are fairly easy to predict, though. They can only really go in two directions, and change speeds very gradually. And for all that we've "learned to be careful" around them, they still rack up 2-3 thousand crashes every year, even with extensive signing and signaling.
