It would be weird being a passneger.

Being inside it would make for a hell of a drive- seeing the wheel spinning away driverless and the car pushed to its theoretical limits on every corner as you hang on for dear life...

An article on Slashdot laments an experience in 1991 where the US military had a computer driving a HumVee:
Everything worked perfectly until Pomerleau got to a bridge. The Humvee swerved dangerously, and he was forced to grab the wheel. It took him weeks of analyzing the data to figure out what had gone wrong: When he was "teaching" the car to drive, he had been on roads with grass alongside them. The computer had determined that this was among the most important factors in staying on the road: Keep the grass at a certain distance and all will be well. When the grass suddenly disappeared, the computer panicked.
And that bug is probably fixed by now, but the problem is, how do we determine we worked out all the bugs? We can't even do that with Linux/Windows/Anything...
