Real test for machine is in difficult situations, where humans may 'feel' that something is not quite right...
Also, I am unsure these cars would work in Europe with crazy drivers and difficult-to-compute timings at some crossings.

(disclaimer: I was born and have lived most of my life in Europe.)

Well they could hardly do worse than human drivers... speaking as a cyclist who has to endure and survive them every day.

Heck, it'd probably have trouble in Boston, MA (which admittedly has one of the most European street layouts of any major city in the USA).
