This kind of thing is why I think we are much farther away from true L5 self-driving than many others think. To handle current road conditions you need true AGI with the ability not just to see as well as humans can but to interpret what you see, as well as theory of mind and contextual awareness of the drivers around you. What I think will ultimately happen instead is we’ll adapt the roads to allow self-driving by dumber computers. For example, a self-driving lane on highways where there are sensors on the road to help the cars, and where all the cars in the lane must be self-driving and in communication with each other to do things like maintain stopping distance.
