I wonder how these autopilot cars will handle non-marked roads?

Like for example, if you're driving along, and there's roadworks, and all of a sudden there are no lines, will the sensors be able to figure out where to go?

Or in winter.

I assume the car will prompt you to take over when it doesn't know what to do. Fully self driving cars are probably many many years away.

I can't wait until the first hacking attacks send people to their deaths.

Nope, not gonna tick the sarcasm box.

Depending on who you ask...it's already happened.

So is this just software update on existing cars or were they were some hardware modifications too?

According to the Tesla blog, it's a software update for any car manufactured since October last year.

I dont think so. Maybe a few years, but once its here, it'll take over completely. before we know it we'll be legislating against human driving, and wondering what the hell we were thinking, letting morons.. uh, i mean humans, drive on their own
