I don't want to diminish the difficulty of autonomous vehicles but I'm not sure that keeping up to date on every road and driving regulation change is that much easier.
There also places, Iceland comes to mind but also in the rural US, where speed limits are completely divorced from what is a reasonable speed even ideal conditions. So anyone that wants to do autonomous vehicles outside of urban centers is going to have to do a better job at understanding the road network than local government is doing.

There's starting to be people coming forward saying this problem is nowhere near solved by 2020 like marketing departments would like to have us believe.

Sometimes it's a construction worker waving confusing indications. Some detours last just a few minutes or hours, so it's not likely a source of truth map would get updated. Or maybe they would.
