Context matters. For example, at an intersection, both the context of what is happening with others at that intersection as well as what has happened to the vehicle coming up to that intersection matter. An intersection near a soccer field at 4PM has different dynamics than at 4AM. An intersection following a highway exit has different dynamics than an intersection in a neighborhood.

You're right. And that's why I can't imagine a solution without AGI. There are simply too many context-sensitive parameters and we humans are quite good at applying past knowledge to circumstances which are new to us. And we also have access to information, which a computer may not have.

But software in their current state? Is it possible to provide enough logic to handle all cases like humans? Can you do that with pattern matching, feature detection, decision trees, bayesian models and anomaly detection alone? And if we do, didn't we just replicate a human driver with all his flaws?

Aha, that's an interesting point: is the current SDV paradigm "build a faster horse", to quote Henry Ford?
