How Self-Driving Cars Visualize The World

Chris Umson is the Director of Self-Driving Cars at Google.  In this TED talk, he demonstrates what the world looks like from the perspective of a self-driving car.  My first reaction is to notice how complicated and dynamic even an ordinary driving scenario is.

Since watching this talk, I've become more conscious of how I perceive and process road conditions, both when driving and biking.  I've noticed myself looking farther ahead and slowing down in ambiguous situations -- where it's unclear, based on the available data, what I should do.
