Re: What do the statistics tell us?
"But not the same sort of routes yet? Majority of British drivers could drive round the M25 without incident save some annoyance at the junctions near Heathrow, run the length of the A1, or park on the High Streets of the UK. Maybe survive the Champs Elysee. Have the google cars done anything equally challenging ?"
I would think negotiating a major Californian city like San Francisco or Los Angeles at rush hour would provide plenty of challenge. The cars have already crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, which has reversible lanes.
