I've taken about 40 rides in Waymo in SF with no safety driver. One thing it did handle surprisingly well was a narrow 1.5 car width road, with bumper to bumper on-coming traffic. It took a bit longer than a human driver would, but it made it through. I should have videoed it because I thought for certain it would get stuck. My biggest complaint with Waymo's driving was it sometimes didn't plan ahead to be in the correct lane for a turn coming up within a few blocks and then couldn't get over due to aggro drivers. They seem to have addressed this though The most impressive feat was when it went down a narrow road to find it was blocked. It managed a 3-point turn in a difficult situation and found another route. The biggest "bug" I witnessed was a situation with only one road going to the destination and that road was closed with a police road block. It turned around and then kept coming back to the road block, basically looping forever. Had to have an engineer intervene. If Waymo can handle SF roads, I think it can handle anything in the US (at least without deep snow on the roads). Dunno about other places where you might have to get "creative" with your driving.
