    Seems like a bad idea - you know someone is going to figure out how to take advantage of that.

    • Scofflaw - ai has no pride or ego so I can cut them off at will and they will always back down
    • scammer - manufacturer has deep pockets - where’s my neck brace?

      I’m sorry, but I can’t actually imagine that happening where I live.
      Do people who cut others off care who’s driving?

      • Scofflaw - Why does the person in the self-driving car care? They’re just chilling. Zooming ahead of other cars doesn’t get you more than a few minutes ahead. If that’s really important to you, you should have left your house a few minutes earlier.

      • Scammer - These cars are covered in cameras and radars. These are the opposite of the cars you want to jump in front of (except Tesla, which sucks). They’ll probably just film you launching yourself from the curb and stop before they hit you. I guess you can get on America’s Funniest Home Videos?
