My understanding of self driving cars is they currently give control back to the driver if there is a situation they can't handle. So if it hits ice it'll give control back to a driver. A drive that rarely drives and therefore has no experience is only control the car in the worst condition possible. That likely won't go well. It will prevent a lot of small accindents in trade off for a few big ones (like commercial auto pilot). It sounds great but I'm very skeptical of how this tech worksupport in snow and ice and with lanes covered etc. I'd be impressed. Note I haven't looked up any info on self driving cars on ice etc
