>We don't need that part to follow some lanes. We do! I live near a highway and every time I use a particular on-ramp, the tar stripes make my car think it's going off the road. It never learns, and it has no plan B. It's easy to do the lane-keeping, it's completely terra incognita to decide when to abandon the standard method that works 90% of the time. And what to do next.

For object recognition code, including lane-finding, to be sufficient, it needs to be looking far enough ahead that the car always has a plan B. If we reach that level of quality, and it still fails to find the lane, then the car can simply stop. Deciding when to stop is a really easy threshold based on how confused the recognizer is and how far away the source of confusion is. But also those sources of confusion will get rarer and rarer as the object recognition improves, to the point that even very mediocre handling of those situations will still give you an overall good experience.
