No, google screwed up the map, thinking there is road up there. By that time driver may wake up only to find out it went over the cliff.

Interesting, bummer Google didn't show driverless car in a traffic jam, it would be interesting to see if driverless car can cope in a huge traffic jam with changing lanes etc.

Another side note... may need to bring "Depend" incase there's a glitch that this car will never stop.

They tested it for 200,000 miles.

I'm pretty sure they had to stop at least once.
