I doubt a self-driving car without a LIDAR would make it - on the same "test road" as in 2006. But it shouldn't be a problem for others like Google, Volvo, Ford

I doubt a self-driving car without a LIDAR would make it - on the same "test road" as in 2006. But it shouldn't be a problem for others like Google, Volvo, Ford, etc We need an independent review of self-driving cars in a few years. It will be quite interesting how good they really are in different driving situations like different road and weather conditions. Say good buy to only-camera+radar based cars on a snowy road with bright winter sun (low sun rays) or heavy rain in a dark foggy night.
