Self driving technology isn't all encompassing. These cars still have steering wheels and a driver is responsible for its operation. If road conditions are bad and it cant find its way, it wont continue to operate aimlessly.

Not yet. But it won't be long and a computer operated car will likely be a whole lot safer in a snowstorm than one operated by a human who can't see anything. When jumbo jets are safely landed by computers I think it's pretty obvious that the necessary technology exists to drive a car down the road.
This may be true, but over reliance on computers results in lack of skills!
Take the case off the Air France plane that crashed in the Atlantic, the plane was loosening altitude, so the copilot pulled back on the stick, resulting in putting the plane in a stall! The plane fell 30,000 feet and bellyflopped on the ocean!
