How cool is that! Although I must admit if I saw one on the road, I'd probably still stay clear of it -- even with all the non-Google computers already controlling our RX's. I'm not so sure about self driving ones quite yet!

Human drivers scare me more than computer drivers. The old adage 'human error'.
Once computers are driving all the cars there should be no accidents, traffic jams, etc.

No, I don't play soccer!
^^As long as the map information is correct. Remember that's put in by humans, LOL. I have to ask, what's the purpose of having a car if you don't actually drive it? The only time I'd want a feature like this is for long trips so I could enjoy the scenery.

it doesn't use a "map" so to say, it makes a map using sensors, cameras and lasers. It actually "SEES" what's going on around it..
It might use a map like you do, to generally find out which way it should go, but it by no means is using a map to actually drive on the street and pick a lane.
