You bring up many of my own concerns. How the hell are they going to perform in far less than ideal weather or road conditions?
Also I don't like the fact that machines will be making ethical choices for us and we will be left with the consequences. Here's an example: You are driving down a road. A fuel tanker truck is heading at you in the opposite lane. There is an obstruction in the road ahead. You have the choice of having a head on collision with the fuel tanker truck, hit the obstruction (maybe it's a child, a dead deer, or a tire, or you swerve right and end up in a flooded canal or hit a crowd of bystanders. What would the car decide? Your decision would depend on the obstruction. Would it be able to tell if it's a child, a deer, a dead dog. I want to be able to make the decision myself.
