I sometimes pace them to act as a moving shield.
Nothing else comes close, not even eye contact and being waved on by a human. The other autonomous cars that have been introduced are at least just as scary to be around as people.
- ajp-stl 7mo agosounds like you enjoy the predicability of Waymo vehicles. humans are unpredictable.
- Mawr 7mo ago> I sometimes pace them to act as a moving shield. Yep, similar concept to using pedestrians crossing the road as shields. Cars reliably yield for them, not so much for cyclists. > not even eye contact Okay, DO NOT rely on eye contact. Look at what the vehicle and particularly its wheels, are doing. > being waved on by a human That's a potential death trap too. Just because one vehicle is yielding to you doesn't mean every other vehicle you're supposed to yield to is.
