    Not sure if you ever saw the video where they talk a bit about how the cars work, but it's very interesting. They can actually see 360 degrees basically at all times. The things they can do goes far beyond what a human is capable of.

      Not only that but computers don't suffer from lack of sleep, or distractions. Yes there are some behaviours that can be analogous, but they don't 'fatigue' nearly as often as us humans.

      I hadn't seen that no, thanks for the link! I was familiar with some of the principles, but seeing the visualisation & the car in action helps making it more concrete. On thing it did make me think of though, is that it's currently only being trained on US driving rules & regulations, hopefully adding different countries to the mix isn't overly challenging so that the rest of the world isn't left overly behind.

        I think mostly driving would be the same in all countries. I mean, Miles -> Kilometers, some countries drive on the Left instead of Right. I don't think a lot of the fundamentals would be that hard to change around. Not sure.
