I recently drove in freezing storm. Whole frontend was covered in icy-slushy mixture. Parking sensors were freaking out and working totally randomly in such conditions.

If I ever get an autonomous car, manual driving is a must-have feature :|

I once had a car that didn't work at all when it was below about 32 or above about 70.

Keeping my horse was a must for those situations.

I once rode in a plane that could only go a few hundred miles before refueling.

Keeping my car was a must for those situations.

I once rode in a train that could only go ~60 mph.

Keep my car was a must for those situations.

(hint, I'm talking about early stuff)

One of many examples would be a single lane street which goes up a hill and around the corner. Although there is only space for one car you can drive both directions. Rather often than not you have two cars meeting in the middle and then one car has to drive back to let the other car pass. This is pretty difficult to do as a human and I am not sure how an autonomous car would do that.

The same way it goes forward?

2 autonomous cars could negotiate which has the shorter trip, an autonomous car encountering a human could default to timidity.

Oftentimes there's a two-way street when only one car can pass. Sometimes there are signs for that, but not always. And sometimes you need to check mirror to see if car is approaching from behind the corner before you can proceed.

When a human messes up its a cheap accident, just bad human judgment call number one billion.

When a self driving car messes up it'll be a very expensive lawsuit for pain and suffering and psychological trauma of not being in control while the accident unfolds and surely its all the mfgrs fault for having a software bug.

Its not so much the physical characteristics of being narrow as being a location where many accidents happen compared to an interstate-class road.

I doubt that'll be anything like what the outcome of an accident involving a self driving car will be like.

How will they negotiate a stalemate? Against a human or a non-human opponent? Humans will use headlights, gestures, eye contact.
