Drivers can stare right at you as they run you over. Believing you have eye contact does not prevent you from being run over.

    Maybe sometimes, but not this time. "With a human I can look at their face to see that they see me."

      Did you read the whole thing buddy? Guess not! I guess reading isn’t your thing.

  Anything "can" happen. But having driven and cycled many thousands of miles I'm convinced the probability of being run down/driven into by someone who has made eye contact is a lot lower than by someone who has not, so eye contact is a useful signal. Like GP I'd be happier if robotaxis could not only sense me but also send me a signal to inform me they had (beyond just changing their driving behaviour, although that is in itself a useful signal too of course.)
