Well one issue is that too much of this development has been one sided. What needs to be done is force standardization of road markings and signaling and correct it where it is not compliant. So these systems have had to accept the fact that ideal conditions never exist. The easiest opportunity in the US would have been to dress up the HOV and Express lanes and use them. They have controlled access and are specifically marked already to distinguish them from other lanes. however too many seem bent on doing it all at once for everywhere. The first three tiers are not difficult. This claim by Honda doesn't not provide any more details other than they got a certification. We do not know if anyone else even applied for it or exactly what it entails.

How's this different than better maps in the car? Auto update them and you'll be in good shape.

That is because the driver can remove his hands from the wheel and therefore will need significantly more time to prevent an accident.

>The easiest opportunity in the US would have been to dress up the HOV and Express lanes and use them. These are in very limited areas. An autonomous vehicle that can only drive in these lanes will be autonomous a small portion of the time. >What needs to be done is force standardization of road markings and signaling and correct it where it is not compliant. Maybe it's different where you are but road marking and maintenance, especially as you get into secondary roads, can be rather haphazard. This is not going to change markedly so that people can use autonomous vehicles.
