This is why autopilot technology still has a long way to go for countries like M’sia. Here we never drive dead center because we’re constantly on the lookout for potholes, lorries kicking up stones, snakes falling from trees, etc. Fully autonomous certification might work fine in a first world country with billiard table smooth roads, but using it here would be the equivalent of a dumb white tourist wandering into Selayang.
Even without autopilot, simply trusting Apple/Google Maps or Waze to find the shortest route for you is a lottery, because you never know what kind of crazy minefield you will have to drive through, especially during seasons of rainy weather where the smooth road you used today might be different tomorrow after an overnight thunderstorm. Making an autopilot implementation tackle these variables (and be relatively affordable) will likely take far longer than most tech companies forecast. Having sensors that can detect a pothole hiding under a puddle is great, but what good is it when the computer is still making the car drive straight through it?
…and I haven’t even touched on the impossibility of making such tech rempit-proof.
