I can see it. The other day a self driving Cruise car was extremely aggressive with me, almost feeling aggressive as I tried to cross an intersection on foot. It was stop/starting quickly towards me to try and get me to walk faster it feels like.
I think that these self driving cars need some kind of feedback system for pedestrians and cyclists. Even an emoji face that shows facial expressions would help. When I see a real driver at an intersection, I feel like we come to some agreement about what is going to happen next based on our facial expressions. Or I can at least guess what may happen and take an action. With the self driving car there is 0 feed back. It's just an empty car that may or may not run me over.
Additionally, I also almost got run over by a dude head down driving in the Mission the other day, typing on his phone with both hands as his he just felt comfy having his Tesla do all the work.
At the moment all of this feels so sketchy. I hate my life being used for beta testing software lol.
