Here is another USA engineering project that will only be successful in the USA (except NYC), Australia, NZ, and Canada markets because everywhere else in our chaotic world, the driving computer will be overwhelmed by by all those random events, ie, pedestrians crossing street outside the crosswalks whenever they want, bicycles - tuks tuks, etc going down the streets wrong way or riding sidewalks, cars ignoring lights, trucks deliberately driving close to scare you off the road, vendors on the pavement, beggars, window washers, unmarked road constructions, garbage piles, street lights not working, etc... Actually I can see India coming on top with the software and China with the hardware on this project.
On the other hand, I am old school and prefer my car to be noisy (no electric engine), interactive with manual shifting (no electric or automatic), and fun to drive as I weave through traffic (no autopilot for me). Otherwise if I don't want to drive, I get someone else to drive me, ie friend, family, bus driver, taxi driver, or chauffeur.
