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

I was reading about this yesterday, research is showing that systems where the vehicle returns control to the drivers in certain situations are not really effective/safe. It seems like the auto manufacturers are increasingly thinking that Google/Waymo's approach of having no steering wheel, pedals etc for the occupants is the preferred design.
