The guy who wrote this is an idiot. Vehicles with self driving should always follow the driving law to the letter regardless of what normal human behavior is. Human drivers do an immense amount of stupid shit in cars so imitating them with a computer is extremely dangerous.

If anything people should have extra safety requirements for self driving cars such as "always 5km/h below speed limit", "2s stop at stop sign" and "slow down to -10km/h below speed limit before an intersection".

Seriously, it was written like a 1980s interview with Boy George. No thought, missing words, and even sentences with no subject.

All of his questions are easily answered by rubbing two neurons together for a couple seconds.

Bot written articles were a thing before ChatGPT.

Oh....well that disturbing. This was a Forbes article, I thought without AI, that the articles would have to pass the most basic of grammar checks.
