In this Monday, March 30, 2015 photo provided by Delphi Corp., the company's autonomous car approaches New York City, its final destination of a 3,400-mile road trip across the U.S., near Jersey City, N.J. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the car steered itself; only in very tricky situations, like a construction zone, did drivers take control. Now engineers will take the reams of data from the trip and use it to further advance autonomous

We humans find it very difficult to keep to the rules when we  are left alone. But not computers. They are smarter and better than us(to some extent)and can play by whatever rules we set. This self-driving Audi Q5 travelled 3,400-mile on a US road trip without a human taking control, and never for once drove above the speed limit---drove at 25 miles per hour.

Dephi Corp Aud Q5, which had laser sensors, radar and cameras, traveled across 15 states in the United States---from San Francisco to New York City.That sounds great! Autonomous cars are getting better and ready to reduce road crashes.
