Driving a car is a social exercise. The challenge is making something navigate through human chaos, not make it move.
Even the article itself hints that comparing the two is kind of stupid: "[...]where there are few pesky pedestrians or federal rules to get in the way." and then immediately proceeds laughing at the general population ignorance because farmers did it first.
I remember when I was a child, my father explained to me that depressing the right pedal makes the car go forward, the left one makes it stop and this round thing makes it turn. "WOW! Easy!" I exclaimed, "I know to drive now!" Yeah right.
Elevators are automated. Subways are automated. Even mother fucking planes can fly and land themselves (with the right equipment). Yup those giant flying monsters containing hundreds of human souls got automated before our cars.
But wait, Google is stupid because it didn't do it first.
