That's the reality. For both them and Apple.

By the way, can these robotaxis handle intersections that aren't at 90 degrees?

They have done a lot of testing in Pittsburgh which has some of the craziest roads and intersections anywhere, so I'd assume yes
Medieval italian towns?
haha you got me there, can hardly even consider those as roads!
Roundabouts with with 5-10 bicycles going in and out from the different roads all the time during rushhour (Copenhagen, Denmark)? I would love to see them looking for people’s tiny hand gestures and not just get stuck in our traffic over here.
I've driven in the Netherlands once for a week. Now I have nightmares involving bicycles.
Take a look at `2313 NW Military Hwy # 100, San Antonio, TX 78231`

This is an intersection I myself felt daunting my first few years driving. It is within Waymo's San Antonio coverage, and they seem to be handling that just fine.

However, they had to pause them recently related to a lost car, due to, drum roll please... flooding.
