"Mastering Safe Interactions with Driverless Test Cars: 6 Essential Tips"

As driverless test cars become more common on roads, it's important to know how to share the road with them.

Here are six pieces of advice for sharing roads with driverless test cars: don't jump in front of them, expect them to be overly cautious, be extra careful in unusual situations, social cues won't work with computers, know how to reach the companies, and test out a driverless car yourself. However, experts warn that driverless cars shouldn't be allowed to ditch human backup until they have a proven safety record and companies should be forced to comply with industry standards for human test drivers.
