Volvo's self driving car, with no human assistance needed, will be ready in 2020! 4 Years!!

[Heeeeers Johnny]

9. A pipe dream

Maybe, just maybe they can develop an completely autonomous system sufficient for limited use,
conditions and locations, but whatever they come up with, it will never come even close to the capabilities
and decision making with a human operator behind the wheel.

Is that a rock, chunk of wood or is it a paper cup, piece of cardboard in the road?

Will it know where those little known prime parking spaces are located?

Does it like parking at the front of the lot or the back of the lot?

Will it like to park in the shady spot, or the sunny spot?

Can it spot when someone has gotten into a vehicle and is about to leave?

Can it anticipate when is the best time to change over to the right or left lane?

Does it know when it's better to avoid the left or right lane altogether?

Will it park back in or face forward?

Will it recognize and overly conform to the signage of local (public or private), and municipal
parking/driving ordinances?

What's it going to do when traffic/street/parking lines are faded or non-existent?

What's it going to do when those lines are covered with snow?

What's it's favorite short cut. Bonus points for knowing at what time of day?

Is it going to slow down (and perhaps stop), when the occupants spots something interesting (and I don't' mean
rubbernecking at an accident scene)?

Etc... etc... etc.

I really want no part of this.

I hope the technology dies on the vine like Google Glass did.
