When you teach kids to drive, you stress that the top priority is to not hit anything. The second priority is to keep other cars from hitting you. It turns out that a driverless shuttle was good at the former, not so much the latter. The small bus made its debut in Las Vegas Wednesday. It was scheduled to take tourists around the city in a route that circles downtown, but less than an hour after it launched, a semi truck hit it.
The accident was not the fault of the shuttle. The driverless vehicle sustained only minor damage, and none of the eight passengers were injured. -via Jalopnik

I mean, come on. If you think it's not that hard, or if you think this particular video was done poorly, why
don't you give this little experiment a try:
Try to explain to a 45yr old man or woman how to play Madden 2007 football on the X-Box Console in 2 minutes. Maybe that will help put in to perspective for you the difficulty with which the above video must have been conceived.
