Yeah, in order for autonomous vehicles to work, further restrictions on pedestrians movements will have to be imposed. Otherwise people will just figure out that in order to cross the street they just need to step into the road and traffic will come to a halt (having being programmed to drive at appropriate speed and to stop for peds).
The vehicular companies will lobby officials to make it mandatory to only cross and controlled points.

The trouble is that human element includes cyclists and pedestrians. We'll probably see another push for jaywalking laws at some point and cyclists having to use cycle lanes, wear sensors or some other stupid thing.
