Sure, we've all heard of googol, but you're spelling it wrong. We all know its 1.0 × 10^100. What does that have to do with anything?

How about a system that safely works in fair weather and then shuts down for manual driving when it can't cope like in the brutal conditions you described. For many of us, that will cover 98+% of the driving. I can suck it up for the 1-2% if needed. And really, no one should be on the road if the conditions are near what you described.
I'd like to see someone set one of these up outside the FBI's office somewhere and stream the data to the web. Since there are no expectations of privacy, all should be ok.
I only travel a couple of times a year, and its happened 3 times in the last 5 years. Twice was my luggage lost. Once was traveling to Rome. I got it back 2 days later The other time was returning home so it wasn't a big deal because I got it a few days later also. Then, once traveling to London my bag was eaten by the airport belt system and 3/4 of my clothes were destroyed. I had a shoe literally ripped in half. Also, several other items were melted due to heat buildup. I'm surprised it never caught fire. All that said, I'd never check a laptop, medicine, or anything of value I couldn't replace easily.

This is like a real estate agent getting a % of the sale. Sure they do better it the house sells for another $10k, but if the house is already $300k and they are getting 3%, that turns their $9000 commission into $9300. It isn't likely in their best interest to risk a sale for an extra $300 when they could move the property and start working on getting the next one sold.
"Is your phone over 10 years old and just traveled millions of miles through space?"
Hasn't everything on Earth traveled "millions of miles through space" in the last 10 years?
"Call me when they tied the detectors into a system that mag-locks the doors and windows shut to confine the shooter in one location"
Brilliant! Because someone with a gun or 2 can't shoot through a mag-lock or window.
I suspect the idea is that known prostitutes will not be allowed to have a stripping license, therefore minimizing the possibility that strip clubs will be dens of prostitution. I'm not saying that works, but can see that logic being used.
