#3Does anyone else think the steering wheel movements are unrealistically aggressive? The car is barely turning, yet the wheel is doing 60+ degree turns. Has it been calibrated to be this way, or Prius steering ratio is that relaxed?

Yea that did seem weird. Also as far as collision avoidance, shouldn't the car come to a complete stop if a van pulls out in front of it instead of just trying to move around it? What would happen if the van kept going?
I hope this is an early prototype.

#6Too bad most roads in Russia are a joke. This will never happen until Russian infrastructure improves; albeit this tech will stay in the huge provinces, Moscow & St. Petersburg.

Well, van stopped and yandex was slow enough to stop if necessary. Human would drive exactly the same way, I think. You won't go far away if you would give a way to every van who's trying to push his nose before you.

This tech won't be used in small cities, it makes no sense, and big cities usually have good roads.

Forget about that. This is a video of a car barely managing to properly drive in an empty parking lot. Google had released a video of a car driving through streets back in 2009. 8 years later they just now feel ready enough to do public tests.
Just wanted to bring some perspective about how big the journey is from doing a simple drive on video to having something that works well enough to be publicly deployed. We all saw what happened when Uber tried to publicly test way too early.
