The traffic situations could be handled by some sort of beacon system informing drivers within say 500m distance that on given road they need to take over computer because something exceptional is happening.
The problematic part would be something unplanned (ie car crash ahead of you). You can't leave this to other drivers (replacing car hazard button), because it would be very easily attackable to create chaos on the roads.
There are so many problems and corner cases that we could sit all evening and keep coming with more or less exotic ones. Just look at how busy traffic looks like in places like India.
Self-driving is probably #1 on my wishlist (next to true immersive VR), but boy that's HARD problem to solve. Maybe 2040 if companies keep the interest(money) in it.
