You're wrong. It will happen way before 20 years. And computers are better at reacting to unexpected things like icy road. And cameras are better at seeing thr

  >>You're wrong. It will happen way before 20 years Other than random people saying this on the internet, I have seen zero indication that this will be the case. You cannot will something into existence just by strongly believing in it.

  Are you just saying things that you think are true? Have you ever tried to do even rudimentary image processing in foggy / rainy / nighttime conditions? Cameras are absolutely not better at seeing through rain and fog.

    Humans aren't that good at seeing in rain and fog either (which is why many people avoid driving or drive much more slowly in extreme rain and fog conditions), so saying robotic vehicles aren't good at driving in inclement weather conditions isn't very interesting. In addition to cameras, Waymo and Cruise vehicles have multiple lidar and radar units. These are all affected differently by inclement weather but in principle combining sensor data for perception gives the vehicle a lot more data to work off of than a human relying solely on vision. Driving in truly bad weather is still an open research problem, but it's also one that most of these companies haven't dedicated a lot of resources to, since they all have initial rollout plans in places that don't experience much extreme weather. But assuming these vehicles can drive well in good weather, I don't think it's a stretch to assume that progress will be made on driving in more extreme conditions once more resources are dedicated to it.
