this depends on whether the driverless car's ethics processor believes that hitting you will kill you and your passenger.

if yes, it swerves to kill the lone pedestrian.

you will, because there are probably cameras and i'm pretty sure that intentionally causing an accident puts you at fault

there will probably be a law saying that driverless cars are infallible and thus you're at fault if this happens

rear ends are basically always the following car's fault because of following at a safe distance and all that, but good luck trying to trick smth with a xx ms reaction time

isn't hard breaking illegal in the us, or does your murderville constitution allow that kind of hijinks

most of the US doesn't have vehicle inspections so yeah cars do occasionally break on the road in catastrophic fashion

hard braking is of course legal unless you're doing it to intentionally cause a wreck. good luck proving it without a dashcam+telemetry. (guess what driverless cars have)

hard braking wouldn't be an issue if you weren't following so close.

also automated braking systems are already a thing on 18 wheelers so I imagine the automated car would handle it fine.

a scammer would change lines to cut you off then brake hard which gives you no time to adjust your following distance

speaking of, I wonder what distance SDCs will keep to the car ahead when their breaking distance is shorter. probably the same in order to not freak out the driver ahead

i think my google account is stuck in a time warp or something. i never got prompted or automatically changed over to the tabbed gmail interface for example.

and today when using google login to sign into an online service, which i've done every week or so for over two years, i just now got forced to create a google+ account. wtf google?
