Couldn't we already have self driving buses if we just put them on tracks? They go a predefined route anyway :)

Roads are cheaper than rails, and easier to change.

Buseses on wheels are more flexible than trams or whatever on tracks, and can route around a collision.

Rails in the road are a severe hazard for cyclists and somewhat hazardous for pedestrians.
