humans do this stuff too, its just far more memorable when an AV does it. because inherently you know they will be superior drivers once mature

But you can tell a human driver that they need to move their car.

I think you misspelled yell. Has anyone in a traffic related anything ever been told advice? Personally, I've only ever seen (heard) it communicated in a yell

They just don't want to miss their limited window on a "didn't hear ya"!

That made me think of one of my favorite scenes from Labyrinth with the hear no, speak no knockers--"no good, can't hear you!"

How do you expect me to communicate my really good driving advice over my straight-piped big block V8 without yelling?

Humans have a self-preservation instinct that makes most of them think twice about truly stupid acts.

That instinct seems to go away for ~5% of them when you put them behind the wheel of a automobile.
