OK, if two "self driving" cars meet they can negotiate somehow, nice. But they will have to cope with all those older cars and often older drivers in rural areas. Or cows, sheep, or snow drifts or landslides.
I soon will be on holiday in rural France again and you might not believe who and what is driving on those small roads. Which is totally OK with me, but I highly doubt tech will handle that in the near future.
Personally, I stopped saying things like that when AlphaGo showed up. Thrashing a 9-dan master also wasn't supposed to be "something that tech could do."
