I haven't read the code, but I don't think it says an EVSE must be on a dedicated circuit. My guess is if the EVSE is permanently installed, the circuit must be on a dedicated circuit.
Nearly all EVs come with L1 chargers that are designed to plug into standard outlets with no dedication to the EVSE.
Another problem is creating a billing infrastructure attached to the light pole. It needs to measure energy consumption and be connected to the internet to authenticate the user and bill them.

Plus there's a lot of things that make complete autonomy unlikely at this point. Will all cars be connected to a cellular network? What about areas that are out of range?

If your definition of autonomous vehicles is so-called level 5, then I agree with you because there will always be situations where a human needs to override the programming. If your definition is level 4, where the car normally has control, but the means to override are available, then I disagree.
Tesla is already at level 3, and most cars in the very near future will be L1 or L2 as standard equipment.
People continuously rate safety as their #1 criteria in choosing a vehicle. As autonomous features prove to increase safety, they will be adopted.
I will live to see the day when airbags and seatbelts are no longer required equipment.
