There is a vast difference between mapping a road for informational purposes and creating a sensor array capable of the degree of precision necessary to operate an automobile, even in perfect conditions.

How many sensors per mile do you anticipate this requiring? Where are they placed? Are they powered? If so, how?

What happens when a sensor fails? What is the fault-free life cycle of a sensor?

How is the sensitivity affected by weather? What happens when they're covered in snow or ice? Would an earthquake in San Francisco send every car off the road?

How will the self driving car recognize a human directing traffic? Will it stop for a child running into the street?

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
