That's funny - people in Germany also often want to know how to turn-off their alert that the pavement is at or below 0 C, but it can't be altered. Telling you the air temperature is merely below 36 F is probably annoying in Alaska.

In Southern California single temperature sensor German cars are misleading because it's essentially giving you the temperature of the hot asphalt pavement in the sun as the exterior temperature. Two sensor cars use a higher mounted sensor to measure exterior temperature.

I'm not sure I'd trust an autonomous car in the mountains, but here in Los Angeles they should be mandatory when they're available just to keep the city moving smoothly and safely.

Just relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. The cars will all be networked. They will know where other cars are, which way they're headed and how fast they're going. The cars on the bridge you're coming to will be able to let your car know what the conditions are ahead of you.
