Infinite amount of shapes?
no.
Roads are pretty 2 dimensional. The cars probably use GPS for location (older concepts needed roads impregnated with magnets), and multiple laser sensors to detect cars, people, or animals that come in front of it.

Not really, there's a ton of things that can happen when you're driving. The truth is we're still hundreds of years away from self driving cars.

No, a few decades away at most. In europe its already pretty advanced, of course their cities and general way of life are much more proper for it. Theres all this prototypes of alternative self driving vehicles, some of them car like that work amazingly well, they can test it without needing to arrange anything or clear the road at all.

Like what? It undoubtedly has optical sensors that can detect any object in front of it. It doesn't necessarily need to know what the object is, although it would be advantageous for it to detect and ignore harmless objects like floating plastic bags

Yep. The technology that has come along, and that which is being implemented now is all contributing towards making automated cars and traffic a reality. Ford announced at some conference that was held recently that they're looking into a future of cars that operate on some kind of wireless network, constantly communicating data to each other.

How the hell would this thing know when lanes are closed for construction or when freeway exits are closed?
Until we invent some actual neural intelligence, this thing will never work.

With the way governments are going, this could be used for very dangerous means.

Same thing it does when I assume the radar detects any object in front of it, it stops. Not a huge mystery that the vehicle would come to a stop and probably play an audio message to the blind driver as to why it stopped. It may even ask for instruction on how to precede, given their are more than a few options for bypassing something and the drivers concern for time.

If it's hooked to the Internet, it's very possible it could know. However, usually when a lane is closed they put up something in front of it to block it, thus the car's radar would detect that and come to a stop. It might be inconvenient, but it's still a solution.
I haven't watched the video. The car does use some kind of radar, right? The GPS is obvious, but I assume it'd have to use a radar system to detect objects all around the vehicle for a number of reasons.

Algorithms that compare and contrast until they find a proper path by making a decision or not making a decision based upon many parameters like time, speed, distance and obstructions in the road.
Probably.

Yes, they'd have to factor that and others in, or it might swerve wildly at leaves or flying bags and go off track.
Now, what happens if someone steps into traffic in front of one?

That's the point but it happens by dying while in connection with God, which requires peace and no fear, which requires one to confront absolutely all of that now.
Interesting look into the future(but not really):

Much safer, I think. Here's my reasoning:
Current technology can provide every vehicle with a short-range high-frequency data packet communication capability, both sending and receiving.
Imagine now that all vehicles within 100 meters (both to the front and back) of my own vehicle use this means to communicate to mine, and to each other. Information is provided by every vehicle with a tiny data packet ten times a second, say. Each vehicle knows instantly where it is in relation to all the others within this distance. Part of each data packet would be a bit of information regarding what the forward-most vehicle knows, about the traffic ahead of itself.
Now imagine a disturbance such as a tire failure, which causes one vehicle to quickly slow down and head for the shoulder. All other vehicles behind it will instantly know the problem, and the intended course of action, and will calculate how to adjust speed and direction so as to avoid the afflicted vehicle and to allow it to leave the traffic lanes as quickly as possible. Any "ripple effect" of traffic slowing down will not so much ripple as cause an instantaneous slowing down, of all the traffic behind it, nearly simultaneously, in the affected lanes. Properly done, the overall effect would be a much-reduced slow-down of the affected traffic, with a much faster recovery time.
Quote:
With a system such as this, designed to compensate for an unforseen occurrence, then we can imagine that a lane change, or exiting-or-entering traffic, which will be known many seconds before it happens, should be able to occur many times a minute with very little observable impact on traffic.
Much safer.
And it wouldn't even require a central computer trying to watch the entire length of a major artery. The vehicles themselves will monitor and control individual decisions, and movements, for the best outcome of the entire roadway.
Traffic will be able to maintain a much faster speed through a bottleneck because there will be no rubbernecking, that is, slowing down to see what the problem is.
Higher-end vehicles can be provided with a camera that captures a high-speed image as it speeds by, then puts it on utube for everyone to watch.
I can imagine that some television channels might be willing to pay for rights to such "drive-by" video feeds, perhaps enough to pay for the upgrade itself.

A Googley-eyed car drove across, with a dude as a safety, the US a few months ago. I believe the dude wasn't needed.
Sooooooooooo...I hate to mention it but what are the possible drawbacks of a car that can self-guide accurately to any road destination. Any worse than a dude doing it hisself?
