One problem I can see is that they're trying to implement autonomous cars too fast, and secondarily they're trying to replace Uber X with them. If they treated auto-cars the same way they treated Uber Black, and make it a more luxury choice with a higher price, they could slowly implement this into their business over time, one car at a time. I personally would pay more for an auto-car. But the big crux is your first point, and the solution in my mind is for them to just be way way slower and ensure full safety precautions. I don't think they have to dismantle the division nor do I think autonomous cars are out of the realm of possibility.

Why would one pay a higher price on a driverless ride?

I mean if the data says they're safer on average, I'd pay a bit more? And it'd do away with loud blasting of the driver's favorite genre in the car, turning off the AC and rolling down the windows when I'd prefer it on, aggressive acceleration, etc. that you see with some UberX drivers.
