You're not going to be using a self driving car on a dirt road... and as someone that lives in the country, there is no way I would trust a self driving car in areas where there are jolting transitions between pavement and gravel roads.

What ever humans do - reading the map, studying the surroundings, estimating the pavement/conditions, building on experience - a machine (with the right sensors, carefully designed algorithms and testing) can do much, much better.
- loup-vaillant 13y agoHow do you know where there is gravel? Why do you think software can't know it as well? Actually, how do you face any particular situation X? Why do you think the machine can't handle situation X? Can't handle every situation, you say? Then just put the sensor's on manually driven cars, and build a corpus. It won't be foolproof, but I bet my arm it can be much more reliable than a human being. --- Your objections only work with current technology. One day, you will see that self driving cars have less accident than human driven cars. And soon you will be faced with a tough choice: let the car drive for you, or pay more money.
