Considering the season, I’d like to see if one of these self-drivers can distinguish between a shallow puddle and an 8-inch deep pothole filled with water.
I’d like to see how these self-drivers negotiate tricky construction zones, whether they obey hand signals or signs held by workers? And for that matter, how well do they deal with cops directing traffic?
Can they deal with an out-of-commission stop light? Debris on the road?
How much do they depend on painted markings on the roads, which are often in poor condition or non-existent?
Actually, all of those conditions and obstacles, have been accounted for in the design and testing.
