5. Try the fucking Grapevine, with a semi-trailer on your ass.

That would be the Tejon pass, an eight lane interstate highway which goes through the mountains northeast of LA. It is often closed down in winter because it is fucking scary dangerous even in summer. There are tractor trailer run out lanes on both east and west down hill, just in case the truck cannot negotiate the pass.

No rational person would put an autonomous vehicle on the Grapevine.

And no rational person would claim that autonomous vehicles are a good thing.

Here, we call it Grass Lake Road, curvy, narrow, unpaved, and part of it is below the level of the lake. Good luck with your so-called autonomous vehicle. You'll end up IN the lake. And your autonomous semi-trailer will be over the edge on the Grapevine. Needless to say, that's a rather large drop.
