    Yes. A human brain can handle edge cases it’s never encountered before. Can a self driving car?

    • Ever stop at a red light only to have a police officer wave you through?

    • Ever encounter a car driving the wrong way down a one way street?

    • Ever come across a flooded out stretch of road? (if the road has no lines and the water is still it can be very deceptive looking)

    These are a tiny number of things I’ve encountered over the past few years. I’m sure plenty of other drivers can provide other good examples. I’d want to know how a self driving car would handle itself in situations like these.
