I am curious about what happens in unusual situations.

Me too.
After watching many episodes of aircrash investigations, it is apparent that even at that level of sophistication, and in such a highly regulated system, if the computer ( autopilot ) gets confused, it can just hand control back to the pilot.
Even highly skilled and trained pilots can then be disorientated by whats happening, as they werent always following what was going on before, and have to trust that sensors arent faulty etc etc.
Whats going to happen when yr average mug punter ( with their thumb up their bum and their brain in neutral because they have applied all of their remaining braincells to texting or updating their farcebook pages ) is the one left to make a decision in a hurry???
It might work in a fully regulated city environment, with well known sensor positions and gps maps, but i cant see it working ( at 100% safety levels ) anywhere else.
If you dont want to drive, just use Uber.
