I intervene a lot on the city streets. It will recognize stop signs and traffic lights, as well as traffic cones, bike lanes, etc, but I still get nervous when I have to pass a stopped bus, or if there is a bicyclist that isn't in a bike lane.

With stop signs and light controlled intersections, you have to tap the accelerator or gear stick to confirm that it is safe to proceed through the intersection, unless it's a green light and there is a car in front of you.

I do let it take exits for me, but I manually merge if there is traffic. For changing lanes, I will have to signal, but it will do the rest.

Curves were the scariest part to get used to, now I just close my eyes out of fear and hope it does what it needs to do. Haven't died yet!
