On one hand I understand that it is a monumental advance in technology.

On the other hand a computer can recognize a unique face from pretty far.

I don’t think self driving cars will be common until the roads are built specifically for that purpose. [u/NDZ188](https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/spl4ec/eli5_what_makes_self_driving_so_hard/hwfx6p5/) gives a pretty good rundown of some of the difficulties. I don’t see most of those being solved until we build roads that computers can understand. Things like lane markings and stop signs would have to identify themselves to the car computers.
