"We can try to come up with lots of wacky situations for our cars to handle, but the real world can defy even our wildest imaginations," Google wrote in the report.

Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car project, put into perspective just how crazy things can get at the "South by Southwest" music festival in Austin, Texas. Here are some examples:
