Given the sensors required to be self-driving, a self-driving car should be able to detect a bicycle in the "dooring zone", and prevent the door from opening and/or alert the car occupant.
- Reason077 10y agoYes, proximity sensors are capable of dramatically improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, even in non-self-driving vehicles. Many categories of collisions caused by carelessness and blind spots could be prevented by automatically applying breaks, preventing doors opening, etc.
- ptaipale 10y agoActually, even current normal cars could easily give drivers and passengers that warning. At least a rental Golf I was driving recently made all sorts of warning sounds about others coming to the proximity, not just driving close to something. For instance, a scooter passing closely (this was Paris) would make the dashboard whine.
