Perfect example of a system doing what it's supposed to, but that's not the right thing. I don't believe it was headed toward the center barrier - I believe it was neatly avoiding it. Here's what I think was happening: The car did an admirable job trying to stay in that left lane. Each time it saw a red and white diagonal lined barrier, it gracefully edged a comfortable distance away. The problem is, most humans catch on, "Gee, three scary-looking barriers in a row! Maybe they're trying to tell me something. "Maybe this road is closed." But I assume the car's system perceived each one as in individual, isolated obstacle to be handled without making inferences. And it did that much well, and when it realized the third or 4th barrier was impassable, it had to cross the other side of the yellow barrier and it did that well, too.
