> One of the great things about self driving cars is that we are going to start "debugging Roads".

We've been debugging roads since Roman times. This is mostly about debugging software, and even more about crappy software development processes. After all, if your update is not monotonically improving things you have a real problem if your product is mission critical and lives are at stake.

also, roads are far harder to debug and fix then software
I would not be so sure of that. Self driving in all conditions is hard. The thing that bugs me is that these '90%' solutions are released on the unsuspecting public without some serious plain language about the software capabilities and what could be expected. Marketing should not trump safety, especially not the safety of people not buying the product.
