While the question of who pays for it is important, we should be focusing on the best way to get safe driving.

If car sensors and algorithms can get to 99.99% of road features, then changing the remaining 0.01% to work with modern car technologies seems like a reasonable use of resource. No algorithm is ever going to be completely perfect.

What happens if there are bugs or we find code being not up to the mark? Should all the models using that version be disabled till OTA updates are rolled out.

For reference bugs in Boeing's plane resulted in the whole fleet being grounded.

I don't see a problem with autonomous vehicles having a manual control mode, unless we're talking about a scenario some decades in the future where you don't actually need a driver's license for an autonomous vehicle.

I'm more worried about the roads that can't be changed.
