I'm fairly skeptical on driverless cars but it's hard to say what the deal is here - I see plenty of humans end up in the wrong lane around construction zones, too. Obviously we want these things to be better than humans, but it'd be nice to know if this was just the sort of mistake we see humans commonly make here, or if it was egregious.
Dashcam footage of what the car actually did would be pretty helpful in understanding what actually happened.

- cthalupa 2y agoI didn't imply that it was, so I'm honestly unsure what your point is. I already stated I'm skeptical of these things, but even as a skeptic I don't believe it's reasonable to expect perfection out of them, especially early in development. That's why we do these things in a limited fashion to begin with. Humans get confused by construction signage all the time. I'm curious if this was a mistake that would be understandable if a human made it, or if it was an obviously incorrect choice. "Can make the same mistake a human would" isn't ideal, but it's better than "Makes mistakes a human wouldn't."
