In that situation I'd rather trust my life to that computer software than to a human driver (including myself) who simply couldn't be trusted to act safely if their vision was suddenly impaired. Still, no driverless car should ever let itself be in dense fast traffic to begin with. Only a human driver would ever be dumb enough to do something so stupid and dangerous. I would expect all high speed roads to be continuously validated by the car network, mapped in detail and kept up to date by the sensors of each car as it drives it. Your car should be streaming a model of the upcoming road from the cloud and be able to fall back onto it in the event of sensor failure. Handing over control to a human driver only works when one is actually in the car. And paying attention. And competent.
