There need to be detailed scans of the roads before the cars can drive on them, because they cannot collect and process enough information in real time. So far, there are detailed maps of about 2,000 miles of California’s roads, but California has more than 170,000 miles of roads. Google says it wants to license the technology to traditional car makers when they have improved it.

Because the cars cannot collect and process enough information in real time Because people cannot collect and process enough information in real time Because California has thousands of miles of roads Because the cars often don’t arrive at their destination
