I’m also thinking of how human drivers will quickly learn to exploit this and get a feel of how to push the algorithm to get a slighgood advantage. Like, advancing a bit and stopping or getting a bit closer in order to merge in front of a self driving car.

On the other hand, the self-driving car has a lot of cameras, good for collecting evidence, which may scare human drivers.

Maybe, but there are quirks you can exploit. Getting hit in the back of your car, for example, usually means fault is with the car behind.

People already do this with real drivers.

Now imagine if you kept encouring the same timid driver and everyone knew how to cut in front of them.

Changing lanes is a normal and necessary part of driving. I'm continuously amazed by people on the internet who talk about "cutting in front" like it's something only other people do, or who are apparently proud of preventing others from getting into the lanes they need to be in.

Maybe not timid, but considerate?
