David Levinson tweeted this interesting video showing the Google self-driving car operating on city streets around people walking and biking. My reaction was as follows:
Bet it gets a lot of horn honking from behind while it waits for bikes, peds, and tracks to clear. I like that.
@mikesonn tweeted this:
or, more likely, lots of drivers blowing around it because “why are you sitting there?!?!”
I am pleased to see the Google car recognizing people and not just cars. What do you think?
cool.
Finally a safe driver!
The law about cars driving in bike lanes to prepare for a right turn is the same here as in California. The Google car violated the law by not merging into the bike lane before making a right turn.
That’s why the car had trouble at that intersection.
Google fail.
