> self-driving cars should drive conservatively I agree, but the specifics get tricky. It is possible to drive so conservatively that it’s unpredictable and therefore dangerous. I’ve known some terrible conservative drivers in my time; I was a passenger with someone who stopped abruptly in an intersection despite having a green light because they were afraid someone else was going to run the red (while it’s fair to say the person who rear-ended us was at fault, it was an accident that would not happen with a more normal driver). Maybe I’m nit picking on the difference between conservative and unsurprising.
