I haven't seen any of these demos in heavy rain, snow, or other similar inclement weather conditions. I believe this is also the version that failed to safely stop for a pedestrian in a cross-walk, is it not? (edit: That was actually 11.4.1, a more "advanced" version.)

And by the way, when you start off discussing credentials and attempt to preempt criticism with LOL and the like... let's just say it undermines your credibility somewhat...
