A little bit like how some people aggressively brake in front of Tesla drivers


Exactly. It's a form of bullying. Taking a swipe at cars that are under AI control is a form of intimidation just like "rolling coal", popping the finger, throwing coins at other cars, ICE pickups parking in EV charging spots, etc. So while it makes sense to me that an AI car should do something to indicate it is so to other drivers (e.g. quick double-pulse of the hazards every 10 seconds perhaps) that comes with a very real possibility of greatly increasing "road rage" incidents and even potentially undermining what driving assistance is meant to be for.


For anyone else who was confused like me, ICE here = internal combustion engine, not Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I was wondering what Immigration's connection to electric vehicles was.
