The cars work ONLY in areas which have been specifically mapped out, to the smallest detail. In that way, they're very much like a vehicle following a programmed track.
A car that can drive in an unfamiliar situation like a human isn't possible yet.

I'm not being coy here - I honestly do not understand how the author can look at the facts he's reported and believe that "the imminent arrival of safe, reliable self-driving technology" didn't happen.
