I want them to be great, but I don't see how they can realistically work. It would probably only be possible in California or something. How does the car "see" the road, for example?

What about winter driving conditions when a human can barely see the road, or when you can see so little of the road that we ignore the real lane markers and just use the ruts?

What about when there's construction or some kind of obstruction and you have to divert from normal traffic patterns? For example, there was an emergency repair on Sarcee this year; they paved over the median and had one side of the highway drive on half the opposite side.

How does it choose a good speed? What about when you know a particular road is wet and snowy and particularly slippery? Does it know to brake early and gently? What about going face-first downhill with a big load in the back? What about an extremely steep road that's coated in a thin layer of solid ice?

etc.etc.
