Default All hail the driverless car!

I had to laugh at this fellow:

“I could … have an exercise bike in the back of the car
to work out on the way to work,”

I've noticed lately that the paranoid fear of computers becoming
intelligent and taking over the world has almost entirely disappeared
from the common culture. Near as I can tell, this coincides with
the release of MS-DOS.

Could it run over and kill air crash survivors any better

The first thing that came to mind for me was what will happen when
people start gaming the system - i.e. they *know* a vehicle will stop or
take avoidance measures no matter what they do.

Could be interesting.

What comes to mind for me is, "Will the sensors used for collision
avoidance detect bicycles any better than the sensors used to cycle
traffic lights?"
