But the long run goal isn't to be able to run only in very specific, rich cities that are willing to completely retrofit a massive city to support these cars. Clearly they want to be able to eventually replace all and any car usage with self driving cars.
I think you may also be underestimating just how expensive it would be to install systems like that, especially since it has to be maintained too.
I don't remember where but I remember seeing something that literally just needed a bunch of RFID chips or something on the road, honestly just making a standard chip and then making them pay for it would work great. It's way safer and more reliable than current systems.
