Researchers Say Policymakers Must Consider Bikes in Self Driving Car Laws. 3 reasons why:

  • bikes are the fastest growing mode of transportation in the US
  • bikes and cars share the road, and most self driving cars will pass a bike only when 3 feet clearance exists
  • Bikes more more erratically than cars, and self driving cars need to be programmed to predict the more nimble movements of bikes
