I’ve watched a number of documentary pieces on the technology development, and the one factor pointed out which interests me....is that weather and road conditions will over-ride the programmed handling of the car. As one guy pointed out....if the car program determines that it’s too risky because of ice or snow....it’ll pull to the side of the road and end the ride. If this were to work, I’d take a guess that 90-percent of winter accidents would have been taken out of the statistical display. The same feature could determine weather patterns and refuse to enter areas where flooding would typically occurs.
