objects on the road, and the like. My wife even refuses

There are huge problems with making such a car fully functional, and they have not yet been solved. Here are some of them:

People don't like programming their cars. Hell
, most people don't even like the Waze mapping service, which helps
make your drive so much better by suggesting avoidance of accidents, turkey whatsapp number list warning you of
to use cruise control.
We have thousands of social rules
about cars. Think about it! When you're at a crosswalk, you
look into the eyes of the driver of an approaching car to see if he/she will stop.
That's just one rule. There are many, many more, and there's no
car that can truly communicate with other drivers or
pedestrians.
There are still no sensors that work
in all situations. Last February, I was driving in a severe snowstorm and could barely
see where the median strip was. Yes, I know it was stupid, but
the sensors are simply not good enough to handle those situations.
Today's computers aren't powerful enough.
My driver recently drove through a crowd of hundreds of people in China. Current
systems can't handle such complex processes right next to a car.
How did our driver cope? By relying
on social rules. By driving
slowly,
honking, and keeping a close eye out for inattentive passersby.
The people working on these technologies say
it's too complex for current systems.
The maps aren’t accurate enough. Next month,
I’m going to Seattle to visit mapping company Here (formerly the Nokia/Navtek/Microsoft mapping team). They’re creating new
maps specifically for self-driving cars. What’s wrong with current maps? They’re
not accurate enough, they don’t have all the information you need, they still
don’t know where the holes in the pavement are, and they can easily update themselves as
you drive.
People aren’t ready for these cars. We all
say they aren’t, but we’re nowhere near ready to let
our kid ride in one.
It took me a couple hundred hours to even trust the cruise control. No one has the time
it takes to get used to self-driving cars enough to
completely forgo the steering wheel or human intervention. Even Larry Page
isn’t that comfortable with them.
Our laws aren't ready for these machines either.
