I am all for autonomous driving and everything but this kind of video just hype up the crowd too much when i think we are quite some years away from ever be able to sit on passenger seat or even let the car pick us up. (to be actually usefull)

I think now and in years ahead we need to be satisfied with systems that sometimes in some situations aid and help us. But we are far away from complete autonomous driving.

There are just so many outside human errors and problems that we ignore and solve on daily basis.

Like what if the road is not marked like it should be with signs?

What is there is road works and you get some low paid worker incharge of doing a marking a detour?

What is the performance of a system if there is bad weather?

What if there is snow and sensors get covered?

Bad and inaccurate GPS maps? Like i know regions in USA must be well covered but here they are not regularly updated.

What happens where there is bad traffic and you get the go ahead from approaching driver to go ahead? Does the system pick it up and go or wait for ''sufficient'' space?
