I don't think machines currently have enough contextual information to be able to drive fully automated. Case in point: the limitations mentioned in the article. I don't think you can compare human cognition and driving abilities to current AI/Hardware, since the roads and all the information to drive are geared towards humans. This being said: I do believe fully automated cars will come, but the 2 conditions I mentioned are prerequisites (in my opinion).
