It seems like there's quite a difference in self driving technology between highspeed and lowspeed ability. Generally low speed seems to be pretty safe. But apparently all high speed systems have the "blind spot" of having to disregard stationary objects in front of them due to false positives from overhead highway signs, flyovers etc.
So when there's a broken car in your lane on the freeway the autodriver will just slam right into it.
I doubt the public will accept any system that has this kind of inherent flaw because it seems just insane to a human driver. This will probably have to be fixed before highway driving is approved but city driving, with a speed limit, might happen much sooner.
