Re: Maps are useful, but things change
"It does raise a point. How will an self drive car deal with things such as new roundabouts."
What the vehicle "sees" has to take precedence over what it "knows" (i.e. the map) Otherwise, road construction projects will be impossible, accidents involving immobile vehicles will tie up traffic for tens of miles, and self driving cars will be useless during/after floods and earthquakes. And vehicle vision and object discrimination is going to have to be very, very good.
