That said, for the elderly and impaired it seems like something that could improve quality of life tremendously.

I would think sensors would disable the "auto pilot" at first when road conditions deteriorate. Eventually though, and probably not very far off, they will indeed be better than humans at traversing on bad conditions. Due to liability issues though, complete autopilot in those conditions might make it prohibitive
