Google Cars Drive Themselves, in Traffic

I strongly suspect that the reason the human took control was because there was a journalist in the car. In videos I've seen, the vehicles are able to handle bicycles just fine.

And they choose which videos they show, correct? So its all carefully presented. Which means the way they are not completely confident with how the situation is handled.

Which is not saying this effort shouldn't continue. Human drivers don't always handle cyclists well either.

I don't think there is as much filtering on stuff for internal consumption as external. (I'm an employee. Internal videos are the ones I was referring to.)
