what about truck drivers? Motorcycles? Will they be driverless also?

How will the driverless cars deal with these:
potholes.
Tree limbs on roads.
Deer.
skunks.
squalls.

I’m not saying this is the right way to go, but some newer cars today have some obstacle avoidance features in them.

The ability to perceived and avoid dangers via sensors and computers is constantly getting better, but I see it as a nightmare having software doing all of the driving, due to bugs or hacks. The tech needs to mature a lot before this remotely becomes a viable idea.
