Well after watching this video I am a bit less skeptical of the concept. Still, some things I can't help but wonder. What about that person who does not see the stop light and t-bones you? I saw the graphical image of what the car sees, and it seems to see many things around it, but I wonder if it know's that there is a car coming from the right at X speed and is not going to stop at the light at the same time the car is entering the intersection. Of course human's often cannot avoid this so I am guessing that there are still going to be some accidents, just far far fewer.
