The right person to blame is the USA highways administration.
Pretty certain the road layout was like that before someone tried to use autopilot ....
Sure its a bit crap but otoh if the in car systems can't work in that environment they shouldn't be used nor sold as suitable for it, which is the alleged issue.
To paraphrase your logic : 'You didn't rebuild your roads properly for our cars so its your fault'
Road layouts and road maintenance quality will vary. The big question is do they vary so much that they can't be handled in a test suite. Or in other words, there are too many variable and unpredictable edge cases for statistical or programmatic methods to automate the task.
This is why I'm very much a skeptic on autonomous cars , especially in cities like London until we have much more real time integration of both car, bike, pedestrian and street level systems with significant infrastructure investment. Best of luck on the inner ring road ...
