I'd love to see how a self driving car reacts to other cars in emergency situations. Situations where you need to do more than just apply the brakes. Also, how will they handle bad weather? Are we going to see the day where everyone is going 30 km/hr cause these cars are now the responsibility of the manufacturer and you can be sure as #### that they're going to be super cautious?

I don't know. I dont really see the benefits of a self driving car unless every car is a self driving car and they talk to one another. Until then, you're just trusting a computer to make potentially life saving maneuvers at high speeds.

Nah...
