> Are you suggesting every DL holder knows all the driving conditions?

In my country at least: Yes.

Hydroplaning and driving on ice is part of the compulsory training, including driving on simulated ice on a special course.



That's great. Would you your country's test covers 100% of the situations a driver might encounter?

Even without knowing the details, I can confidently tell you they don't.

Does it teach you how to recover the car when the tires blow out? How about it is raining? How to react when a car is coming straight at you in the wrong way? How about when a dog jumps out?


Does Waymo know how to handle itself if the tires blow out?
