Autonomous vehicles have cruised Mars with crap connectivity and zero sealed roads, though admittedly at low speeds and a traffic density of two vehicles per planet. Back here vehicles avoid jaywalkers and obstacles and are able to cope with non-standard road conditions. I'm sure that there are going to be unusual situations that they don't cope with, just like other driver. However, they learn and progress. The idea that they won't or can't reach an acceptable standard seems religious to me. They don't have to reach the flexibility of the best human drivers, they just have to reach an acceptable cost/benefit/risk point.
