All too often I have had drivers ignore what signage and their eyes told them all because the robot told them to go there.
It is amazing what people will do simply because a stupidbot told them to do it.
I doubt driverless vehicles will be any better.
Plus, I doubt they would avoid road hazards like deer, elk, moose, bear, road debris, etc.

I bet they handle the unexpected better than we do.

Finding their way ... not so much.

When crossing the GW Bridge from New Jersey into Manhattan you have lots of choices. If you want to head down the West Side Highway you stay in the right lane.

Unleses you’re on the lower level, in which case you stay in the left lane.

The GPS apparently can’t tell that difference in altitude and has stranded many a driver in the wrong lane when they get to the end of the bridge.
