Here's a scenario.......

Put about a dozen self driving cars on a highway somewhere in bumper to bumper moving traffic @ 60 mph, in a northeast snow squall, on the first Saturday of the month after the SS checks come in and all the BH's are heading out to the beautician and grocery store.

Now interject 3 or 4 part time workers from Burger King who are driving 1987 Chevy Cavaliers with worn out brakes and bald tires into the mix, who are late for work. :B

Now do the same test with human drivers doing 60mph in a snow squall.

I'll bet the self driving cars would fare much better.

Of course in reality, the system would force you to slow down as you are driving too fast for conditions. This is unlike the idiots who believe since they have a 4x4, they can continue to do 60mph in a white out.

Or the self driving car would just stop because it could no longer read the road.
