I'm worried about how cycle sensitive they are going to be. The world seems set up for motorists. I was out on my bike the other day and came up to some traffic lights which were red, so I stopped. After what seemed several lifetimes they were still red and then a car pulled up behind and they went green! The things were motion sensitive and weren't set to be triggered by a man on a bike.
What chance do we stand against driverless cars? If their sensors can pick up the narrow outline of a cyclist from behind they'll be braking at all sorts of things won't they? One hopes they've thought about this but British road planners don't take us self-propelled types into account. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <anartaxius@...> wrote : Should a Driverless Car Decide Who Lives or Dies?

Even the Google guys seem to have solved the riddle.
