That's something underdiscussed. A lot of driving is predicting other driver's behaviours. After a while you get a sense of what people will do, and in which broad category they fall under.
With self-driving cars, now we have new actors on the road that don't act naturally. And each software update might change these behaviours. This has some interesting feedback implications. As we get more of those on the streets, we might see more accidents after software upgrades. Not because of the software, but because people got used to the old behaviour and didn't anticipate the new one.
- detaro 5y agoWhat are the rules to pass bikes there? Could be that the Waymos are breaking expectations by just actually insisting on passing in a 100% legal way.
