> I would be skeptical of driverless vehicles in the winter time in our state. A road might be perfectly clear and dry and all of a sudden go past a sheltered area and be glare ice in that spot. Even using cruise control in those situations is dangerous and not advised. I just question whether an automated system could react as fast as a human driver in those situations. Not saying it can't be done and maybe one day we'll see that, but at this point I'm not convinced that we've arrived at that point yet.

You can't turn it off and it does react far faster than any human can. Even old-school cruise control can respond to a spinning wheel long before the driver knows it has broken traction. So yes, a computer that makes millions of decisions every second, checks each wheel speed a dozen times a second and has its own accelerometers and other sensors can react far faster on slippery roads than a human driver.
