There are a lot of roads where I live that are one lane, with passing places. Or most of the time both drivers have to aim for a wide-ish part of the road and both bump up the hedge a bit. God knows how Google car will do that, half the tourists have problems figuring it out.
It's common to meet a car, both pause while the drivers try to figure out who has a better chance of reversing 500 wiggly metres to a passing place. If you meet an old lady, man, just stick it in reverse and drive as far as you need, waiting for her to even find reverse is pointless.
- arethuza 11y agoQuite a lot of those here in Scotland - and there is a fair amount of etiquette around how to drive properly on them without other people (locals) getting very annoyed with you. I can't see any reason why self driving cars couldn't manage single track with passing places better than people - especially if they knew where the passing places are and could communicate with other cars.
