Self-driving cars can be fooled by fake signals

66. You really like those straw men.

Stop with them and address my specific objections!

Explain how autonomous vehicles can navigate in winter conditions.

That's right. You can't because they are never tested under those conditions. Why? Because they cannot handle those conditions.

Yet one of the prevalent arguments for autonomous vehicles is long haul trucking. But ask any trucker about driving in winter.

The use for this tech can best be for where the route is constrained, RAIL!

I love the Google Cars. They are cool. But we will likely never see autonomous vehicles on the Interstates. (For one, no insurer would allow it.) However on rail there would be definite advantages. Plus the Google Cars can bring more safety to everybody's car, as is being implemented in high end cars these days.

Eventually the cost of the tech will come down and we will all have it. But cars will not likely drive themselves unless roadway infrastructure was wholly replaced by something different in kind to allow such a thing. And winter will always be a problem.
