Cheap criticism: the video starts with (I paraphrase) "This is 1 hour of driving", the last thing I expected after the fade-out/in was to see a man with a weird shirt... and then I notice the video is about 27 minutes long. Edit to add: After that I started watching it, it's actually a video of an impressive AI.

#33Just like all other self-driving demos. I'd like to see a demo like this on snow covered roads, with no lane markings visible. I think that would tell a lot more about the system's ability to deal with an imperfect world.

But humans can't drive well in those situations either. Why are you asking for something better than humans can do?

I’m pretty sure I can’t meet that standard.

#38Is there a way to know that this isn’t done with remote control, other than the company says so?

Ask Canadians, Swedes or any other people living in a location with long winters.
