The real questionis will this remain when they opperate everywhere. Snow and ice up north. Ronds not yet mapped. Many other things I'm not aware of. I suspect the writting is on the wall for human drivers - they don't need to be prefect to be much better than humans and from there redulators will not allow human drivers.
Yeah, they'll definitely be better.
Snow and ice are hard for humans as well, but it's impossible to "upgrade" human vision or response time, while it's always possible to add more sensors to a car, or refine their programming...
Hopefully one day this will be a toggle - drank one too many or commuting in traffic? Toggle it on and catch a nap or a TV show.
Sunday afternoon and the weather is awesome? Roll the windows down, blast some music and drive it yourself
The drive yourself mode should be like abs - the computer is still in control but if you drive like you should you will never notice you are not in control.
