And interestingly, seeing challenges ahead, I don't think we will have 100% autonomous cars before 2050, if not later. 50 years ago, we were certain that perfect image recognition is just few months of work away, or at least enough money poured into it will solve the problem. It's 2016 and our best of the best image recognition algorithms can't even tell a zebra and a sofa in a zebra print apart. Since automatic cars are trying to solve the same problem I can't believe that in 2030 anyone will make 100% autonomous car, not a chance. Super advanced cruise control, like Tesla's autopilot, but better - sure, absolutely. But a car without a steering wheel? nope.

State of the art offline CNNs have been doing classification quite well recently, arguably better than humans. See the Inception-v3 paper: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.00567v3.pdf

None of that changes the fact that they're easy to fool and have some pathological cases (that gambiting alludes to) that most humans consider quite dumb.
