As we all know, , to say nothing of making cars that drive themselves, which is exponentially harder. I’d like to think we at Jalopnik , our dear readers, just how hard making autonomous cars has proven, but just in case we haven’t, here’s another go at it.

Among the examples are a school bus blocking the sensors, mistaking pedestrians for cyclists and vice versa, or needing to pull over due to an incoming thunderstorm.

Overall, the game is a neat little reminder that AVs remain a very difficult problem to solve, and their inability to make complex inferences from their surroundings is turning out to be a much bigger handicap for effective driving than many technologists previously thought.

Three to five years ago, many AV boosters thought we’d have self-driving cars available for widespread use by now. Instead, we still have about 1,500 on the road undergoing testing. Most experts still think we’re still decades away from commercially available full autonomy. In the , humans are underrated.
