It keeps a much safer distance to the car in front than 90% of human drivers

Do you have problems with people pulling into the space in front of you?

I think there is a potential problem with people pulling into the fairly large gap that is left, meaning quick deceleration and minor panic, and compensation driving and braking.

I’d like to see how self driving car logic resolve problems such as changing lane to overtake someone going at 50mph, which someone storming down the faster lane at 90mph.
I assume it would be programmed for the safest possible solution, which is to stay 3 car lengths behind the 50mph driver until they finally turn off.

One logic is… With self driving cars, there wouldn’t be the car going at 50 mph to overtake, because they would all be going uniform speed. Ditto the idiot driving at 90mph… wouldn’t happen with full self driving.
