The irrationality displayed on my daily commute made me so excited for self-driving cars - it's a shame we're further away from that than I realised. Yes, I alternate between a motorcycle and largish SUV to get to work. I had a hairy moment when my lane slowed suddenly from 70 > 20mph on the motorway. There was a car and a lorry in front of me, and car and lorry that looked like it was having trouble slowing behind me. To my right was a lane with a lorry doing 70 still, and to my left were barriers. For a split second I thought I was going to be crushed and there was nothing I could about it. Weirdly I fancied my chances better if I'd been on my bike as I could have moved to the side.
