If I have been to the destination multiple of times, I usually don't open map, I leave my phone off, or I let Pokemon Go running. But sometimes I do use map to seek for alternate faster route if I am in a hurry even if I am familiar with some alternate routes just to be sure.

Since I don't use Waze (horrible experience), Google Map won't tell me there's a camera ahead, or police is ahead.

Right - I may have phrased my point badly. The idea is that all effective driving relies on pre-mapping, either via digital means (your phone) or human means (your brain).

The expectation that self-driving can be perfected without any kind of pre-mapping and the system can behave at high reliably in-situ seems unreasonable. Even humans can't do that.

Humans and computers have different strengths though. Just because humans can't do something good doesn't mean computers can't, and vice-versa.
