I would be interested to hear your proposed algorithm and how it will prevent unintended consequences of such a feature. It sounds like the kind of thing that might make minor accidents more minor but contribute to major accidents at high speeds.

It should be possible to make it fairly hard to hit a human with a car in the very near future. Drivers suck at keeping away from bikes. Cars should do this for them.
