text: In the article, Driverless Cars Are Coming it states that "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009" What are the specific conditions? Certainly not in a hard rain or heavy snowfall. In real life situations no one watching the road is a huge risk, anything could happen that a senor could not detect. People should not trust a senor to carry their family to their destination, wether it is ten mintues away or an hour.
