I am a fan of autonomous vehicles too, and that's why I'm also a fan of BRT.
2 years ago, I would have advocated ripping up el Camino and putting BART underneath, all the way from San Jose to Millbrae.
Now, we can do the same route with BRT for much less money. Why would I advocate this? It's still a waste, but much less money than something like light rail, which is a disaster.
So, go ahead, spend some small millions on BRT, but at least make it cheap to rip out in ten years.
