Imagine a scenario: someone's on a bike, running down the street towards the pedestrian crossing. There's a vehicle (truck, bus...) on the left covering the view. The cyclist swiftly crosses the road, the car doesn't detect anything as there's nothing to detect (because of the truck/bus), bam!
Many drivers would see the cyclist before and be very careful when passing the other vehicle (although we don't predict correctly 100% of the time either). I haven't had a chance to test any self-driving system yet so I'm legitimately interested, do those systems reliably detect such things?
Not to mention people (esp. kids) racing through intersections on electric scooters, casually ignoring traffic rules...
