Yeah, the infinitely long tail of exceptional circumstances mean that automated driving is an AGI-complete problem. These exceptions are fairly rare, but once there are many driverless vehicles they’ll be more common. Vehicles will need to learn and problem solve to keep up.

1000s of exceptional circumstances, but once added to training data, is solved forever.
You say that with the air of confidence of someone that believes their test cases cover all possible circumstances. I know for a fact that none of the large, complex real world systems I've worked on have ever had complete test coverage.
Only if they are discretely identifiable, in a wide range of conditions, in a short enough time, and do not conflict with other circumstances...
