The article goes on to describe several problems from the driver's perspective, including driving too close to other cars and the guardrail, and automated steering disengagement that didn't sufficiently warn the driver.

Are they just minor problems? Or are these issues making the long road to self-driving cars so much longer? In this article, we'll delve into some of the existing problems with self-driving cars and see how they happen.
