It would be very interesting to see whether it can use LIDAR to enhance the model of the road in order to detect passing places. And then use this data to know which of the vehicles should reverse because it is closer to a passing place. Bonus marks for working out that the driver of the other vehicle is dithering and whilst they might only be 50 yards from a passing place it will still be quicker to reverse 0.5 mile yourself.
Some of the autonomous vehicles could communicate to negotiate the behaviour I assume it would have to work without in order to deal with both non-autonomous vehicles and areas of no cell phone signal.
Other country hazards such as sheep, cattle, horses, deer, foxes, badgers and bunny rabbits create a complex set of responses. Sheep and horses might need to be approached slowly to encourage them out of the way. Rabbits you can often avoid by steering into their direction of travel because they'll go back the way they've come to escape the danger.

Even the non-autonomous vehicles could have the capacity to show on-screen to the driver what it's planning to do, or what it will do based on your actions. That could be quite a cool approach, although the systems would have to be smart enough to not overload human drivers with too much information (and in turn cause accidents due to distraction).
