Do they really have driverless cars or
just cars that run on essentially
electronic tracks very carefully
determined?
If someone moves the location of a traffic
light, can a Google car still find the
traffic light? Wbat if a bulb in the
traffic light is burned out; is the
car smart enough to negotiate the intersection
with the failed light? What if a bucket
of white paint fell on the road yesterday;
is the Google car's image processing good
enough to recognize this or to tell the
difference between wet paint and dry?
Heck, when I drive, there is a lot for me
to watch and analyze. A Google car
can do that?

- 2muchcoffeeman 12y agoThey have videos of their cars handling common cases. But what about the corner cases? I've had a sign disappear on me over night which changed the roads rules at a tricky intersection. There has been a lot of construction in my area so 2 lane roads had a lane closed off and a traffic controller managed traffic across a single lane. I've even seen a road that you could drive into and out of, become a road that you can only drive into. There had been traffice controllers during road works managing a single lane all through construction and then the day that it was finished, one direction became a dead end.
- moe 12y agoDid you even watch the video? The google cars have no memory of what was "yesterday".
- tonylemesmer 12y agoor if someone parks a flatbed with a ramp in the road with lines painted up. Will the Google car just drive onto the back of the truck? Would this be how you kidnap the cars and occupants?
