As the article points out, Google has far more autonomous driving miles than everybody else put together. They're on the hard cases, too; not just driving on freeways.

I was surprised to read in the article that they were flummoxed by roundabouts, of all things. And that they were apparently surprised to discover that multi-lane roundabouts even exist at all. Have none of these engineers ever gone on holiday to Europe? If they think a multi-lane roundabout is an advanced case, what will they make of this?

Tesla being able to record sensor/map data from human drivers driving through snow will help them mitigate this. On the other hand, electric batteries have less range in cold whether, so I imagine that in the near term electric cars will be less popular in snowy markets versus, say, California.
