re: Google Unveils Self-Driving Cars

Question I had today while navigating through a confusing construction zone: WTF is a google car going to do when confronted with an "out of the box" scenario like that? I'm far from a luddite, and I'm all for this, but I think it's going to be a long time before these things can be turned loose in anything other than a very rigid road infrastructure.

use radar and data collection to react to it. Google already knows where the construction sites are for the most part. The amount of data it is taking in is insane
700,000 accident free miles as of April 29th in the Lexus self-driving google car. It reacts well to cyclists and railroad crossings. I want to say early on, they had 2 accidents when the driver took control of the vehicle

I think google will adapt very quickly. It would be even better if business and the public would adapt to it and report them

They are "training" them on lots and lots of situations, including construction zones. They can read and understand a lot of signs. They have been managing everyday situations for a while now.
Besides, even if the car doesn't know exactly what it's looking at, it at least knows that it's looking at something, and it knows which direction and how fast it's moving, and how big it is. I can't imagine one of these cars actually running into something.
