text: My second reason is why have the driverless car if it doesn't know how to go through the road work or accidents. I think it should know how to go thru the road work, accidents, and all the traffic around the town or on the highways. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." The car should know how to do this stuff on it's own or it's not really a driverless car. You still always have to be ready "just in case". So what if you need to do seomthing on the way to where ever your going and you cant do it because you have to be ready in case you need to take over the wheel.
