@Hamartia Antidote, it is impressive, though I wonder how the car will fare if a cat runs across the road or is just sitting there.

Also, I wonder how the car will fare in India which has among the highest number of road accidents in the world. There's not much "right of way" here.

But yes, I like the all-taxi transportation system instead of privately-owned personal transport.

Don't know about India but in Pakistan this car will be stuck helpless in the middle of the road because of its programming of following traffic laws while no one will give it way to drive. Until or unless its AI is so advanced that it learns from Pakistani drivers how to drive on a Pakistani road.
