It would be difficult to program autopilot to break traffic rules to avoid an accident. Swerving into an open but oncoming lane of traffic is something humans think of easily, but autopilot might not allow it due to liability. Machines are best at quickly solving the usual case problems, but when creativity is required for a solution, it's human CPU FTW... for now.
