Heh, just yesterday I drove past some roadkill and wondered what a self-driving car would make of that. Then I started wondering how it would handle deer crossing the road 50 years ahead, or running alongside the vehicle as they sometimes do when they get spooked. Or how it would handle the way people drive down the center of gravel roads until they meet someone, and then move over.

At 56, I don't expect to see it on country roads in my lifetime, but maybe someday they'll get there.
