> Pedestrian of any kind, including a firefighter in full gear. You assume that a firefighter will be recognised as a person. Even if they're wearing breathing gear or carrying a sack etc. And would definitely respond appropriately to hand gestures, driving away from the fire rather than queuing neatly behind a fire appliance or something. For all the people concerned that a driverless car might stop somewhere it shouldn't, I'm way more concerned that the car will drive on when it really should stop. Especially given some of the insanity we've seen in Auckland with the current floods, the idea that a driverless car might not recognise someone standing waist deep in floodwaters or whatever, then just drive on through, doesn't excite me. There's too many cases where actual human drivers fail to respond appropriately even though we have 100-odd years of selection pressure encouraging them to.
