> Waymo has worked towards this point for years, reporting every disconnect and minor fender-bender.

Is there a list of scenarios the Waymo car can handle?

I think there is a fundamental limitation with detecting stationary objects right in the path of the car. Did the waymo cars share this issue. If not how did they overcame it?

It's not hard. All the DARPA Grand Challenge vehicles, including ours, could do that in 2005. Watch the technical video from Chris Urmson at SXSW about how Google does self driving.

I saw couple of those videos. I didn't notice this addressed in any of those. Most of the stuff was showing how car handles intersections where it is actually slow moving..

The DARPA Grand challenge only required the cars to drive across a desert.

So I am not sure how that answers my question.
