Hidden Obstacles for Google’s Self-Driving Cars

Would you buy a self-driving car that couldn’t drive itself in 99 percent of the country? Or that knew nearly nothing about parking, couldn’t be taken out in snow or heavy rain, and would drive straight over a gaping pothole?

If your answer is yes, then check out the Google Self-Driving Car, model year 2014.

I guess this is how a lot of technology started out. In fact, IBM (back in the 1940's or 1950's I think) said that they thought there was a global market for about 5 computers - and then look at how many there are now!

I could certainly see how this technology would be great for seniors or those with a disability that would hinder their driving.
