That's interesting actually. They would have to do something for the changing conditions I'm sure the Google people think of such things. Even this early in development. They'll probably fit it with all year tires too, and some intense traction control as standard.

If automated driving comes out, though, how will it know the difference between a deer on the road and just another car?

Whether Its a deer, car, moose or puma, doesn't really matter so long as the car detects such obstacles and it can react to them. Because it may need to react differently based on what type of obstacle it is approaching.

Because it may need to react differently based on what type of obstacle it is approaching. Wouldn't the appropriate response to either obstacle be simply to break hard?

Possibly, but the braking system would be an important function in an automatic car, Self driving cars may be able to communicate with other self driving cars, but it wouldn't be able to communicate with a deer.

Possibly, but the braking system would be an important function in an automatic car, It's a function that already works fine in normal cars. This technology was in a 2 year old (at least) Mercedes S Class: Note the car had both thermal imaging sensors, which detected the deer, and automatic breaks capable of stopping before impact.

I'll take a look at that video.
I think self driving cars might have potential. But they have to be very carefully tested and highly safe before they should hit the market.
