I like the idea of pedestrian and vehicle proximity and lane departure warnings in our cars.... features that assist the driver are all good and probably should be mandatory on all new cars. Autonomous driving features....not nearly as valuable and imo will never be as long as there are construction zones with no lane markings and emergency detours present on our streets and highways. It seems I can't go anywhere anymore during road construction season (spring, summer, fall) without encountering some kind of impediment with re-routing, lane closures, temporary no left turn signs and lane divergences. Your self driving system will inevitably disengage so often that it would be almost useless much of the time and even if it would do a fantastic job, a person might or quite possibly would be completely unprepared and too distracted to react in time in situations like I have encountered on our interstates and expressways too many times to count. Just my 2 cents.
