It’s not just driverless cars. I find that many drivers, upon seeing any hint of forward motion on my part (I don’t trackstand, but generally can roll extremely slow) freeze up and assume I’m going to dart into the intersection.

Or perhaps you could put a foot down if you’re going to be there more than a second?

If the alternative is to make a google car paralyze itself in the middle of an intersection, why would you?

What are you, Falls Church PD?

This is a conspiracy by Google to make us all put feet down and come to full stops like all good cyclists should.
