Every so often I'll be driving and see something kind of strange before my brain processes and disambiguates the situation. In those moments I think about how current technology could never process this situation or environment like my human brain just did. Current car and road infrastructure is made for humans and requires human intelligence to operate within. Without changing this infrastructure or vastly more capable AI self driving will never work.

Machines have a lot of advantages though like perfect, practically infinite memory, internet connectivity, the ability to learn from the cumulative experience of millions of humans, specialized sensors, omnidirectional vision, never getting tired, never being inattentive, never being intoxicated.

I wouldn't bet against machines' ability to brute force this. The failure modes will be different and scary, but much safer on average.
