Unpredictable eh? So a human would use what, psychic powers to deal with these situations better than a machine?
Driving a car involves calculations of physics, situational awareness, and basic decision making. Only in the last of those three are humans better performers than machines - so far. The problems facing traffic aren't exactly difficult to comprehend, and huge amounts of money and research are going to be thrown at it. Thinking that they won't eventually work it out, even if it takes a decade or two, is just wishful thinking based on a misunderstanding of what computers are and aren't good at.
