In my experience they don't really stand out other than being a bit slow (for which it actually got ticketed). They seem to just be very conservative.

The car did not actually get ticketed for driving too slow, it was only pulled over. http://www.mercurynews.com/2015/11/12/mountain-view-google-self-driving-car-pulled-over-for-driving-too-slowly/ http://www.mercurynews.com/2015/11/12/mountain-view-google-s...

  I wonder how a fully-self driving car would handle being pulled over. Could be like Robocop but in reverse (i.e., human police escalating due to non-responsive robot).

I've wondered about slow driving at commute times. For years, I have seen people speed during commute hours, especially the morning commute. In the Bay Area, it seems like everyone is going 5-10 mph over the speed limit to get to work. They drive like maniacs. They shouldn't, but they do. It's like a symphony of race car driving some mornings. I'm actually suprised their isn't more accidents, but by 9:30 a.m. It's over. Cops seem to let a lot go unnoticed. They seem to just want to get vechicles moving. They won't admit it, but it looks like they are just like us in the mornings; they just want traffic to move? (Yes--some of you never break the law--great.) I have found the morning commute so lax, in terns of police presence; I always felt a person could drive a stolen car, or a truck filled with drugs during commute hour, and no one would notice. (This is just a innocent hypothetical thought. I hope I'm wrong.) What will they do with a slow moving self-driving vechicle? A vechicle that doesn't respond to ten horns behind it? A vechicle that's going the speed limit, but holding up traffic? In the future, when most people have self-driving vechicles the commute will probally move faster, but that's a ways off. The one thing I have noticed, about so many people, is they seem to be on denial about all the little laws they break daily. I have met so many people who claim they have never broke a law. I have gotten to the point where I don't argue with them, but I see people doing things in an illegial manner daily. After some thought, I guess the self-driving vechicle could be programmed to pull over if a lot of people are behind it. Programming the presence of anger, or the highway salute will be a feat?
