That video supports what I've suspected: the SV self-driving car projects are training on wide American roads in perfect Californian weather, so that's where they might work. Put one of these things on a poorly-paved rural road or a snowy mountain pass, or in a driving rainstorm, and it will disengage and/or kill you. Just today I drove by a temporary orange sign saying "X St. closed; use Y St. detour," which I'm sure would have confused a fully autonomous vehicle. I bet we'll get fully autonomous cars to drive on existing roads about the same time we create strong AI.
