Show me your real life multi-processor driving at the speed limit through Dallas at the speed limit on a Friday at five thirty PM. It must not creep below the speed limit, nor halt motionless when traffic should be moving.
Just to make it like routinely handled human driving, it should be August and the cooling system needs work that the owner can't afford (son broke his collarbone in a baseball game) to fix yet. The car may need to be turned off if there is a long wait at intersections. Best stick to the freeways even though there is so much construction at the big interchanges.
You can skip the whole texting thing.
The economy is bad, the car owner has had to go from a quality control position to a telemarketing job until something else comes up, so your system will need to be something a driver making twenty-five thousand a year can buy and maintain (unless your ultimate goal is to reserve travel to the wealthy only in which case you need to be honest about that) and must work in all weather while commuting twenty three miles each way.
I was kind, in that I did not set my real world test in Joplin, Tulsa, or Witchita. In those places frozen precipitation partially melts during the winter days and refreezes in the evenings and through the night. Much of the driving for nine-to-fivers is done on ice in heavy traffic.
Let's see this system.
