The robot will be far, far better than humans at driving in such conditions. Modern cars already help out as best they can with monitoring slippage, temperature sensing, running in higher gears, monitoring road gradient and rate of change thereof, running wheels at different settings, and all the rest of it; if the meatbag would just sit in the back and let the robot drive everything would be much safer.
The indicator will say :"It's snowing meatbag, please wait until the road is warm and dry, or give me the wheel".

- EliRivers 13y agoWhy would there be such an override system? That's crazy. If there is a need to drive less safely for such a purpose, again, the robot will do better. You push the button marked "Emergency - get me to a hospital" and the robot works out the closest hospital and negotiates with other robots on the road to allow it through at greater speed. The last thing I want in such a situation is a panicky human losing blood and going into shock trying to drive a car as fast as they can.
