      Aye, credit where it’s due; this is a great way to differentiate between human and machine controlled devices. It’s detectable by both, and can help in cases where people blame the autodrive, or car companies claim human error.

      tells me what cars i need to be extra careful around.

      yes i know people are horrible at driving, but at least the average person is predictable.

      Rule #1: constant foresight and respect to other drivers

      Rule #2: Expect mistakes, illegal u-turns, and people taking right of way
