Self-driving cars take traffic laws, such as stop signs or speed limits, literally and follow them to a T. Humans? Not so much.

And so as the public may fear the menace of rogue autonomous vehicles failing to recognize them and causing crashes, the reality is quite different: It’s actually human drivers who are posing much of the risk, failing to fully halt at a stop sign or getting impatient with a slow-footed robot car and causing accidents with them, Bloomberg reports.

“They don’t drive like people. They drive like robots. They’re odd, and that’s why they get hit.”

The accidents typically occur at intersections rather than in free-flowing traffic, and at low speeds with no injuries. In California, the only state that requires reports when autonomous vehicles are involved in accidents, self-driving cars were rear-ended 13 times since the beginning of 2016, out of 31 collisions involving autonomous cars. The results have autonomous vehicle companies working on ways to get their vehicles to drive more naturally and intuitively with human-powered traffic.

“They don’t drive like people. They drive like robots,” Mike Ramsey, an analyst at Gartner who specializes in advanced automotive technologies, told Bloomberg. “They’re odd and that’s why they get hit.”

Said Karl Iagnemma, CEO of the self-driving software developer NuTonomy: “You put a car on the road which may be driving by the letter of the law, but compared to the surrounding road users, it’s acting very conservatively. This can lead to situations where the autonomous car is a bit of a fish out of water.”

He added: “If the cars drive in a way that’s really distinct from the way that every other motorist on the road is driving, there will be in the worst case accidents and in the best case frustration. What that’s going to lead to is a lower likelihood that the public is going to accept the technology.”

Just wait until these robot cars encounter the real menace: Teenage drivers.

As 40,000 Uber drivers face an uncertain future in the British capital, driver Steve Mercer told RT that Transport for London’s (TfL) decision to revoke the firm’s license is “short-sighted” and could put “hard working, law-abiding” people out of work.

On Friday, Uber’s application for a new license to operate in London was rejected on the basis that the company is not a “fit and proper” private car hire operator. The current license expires on September 30, but Uber has 21 days to appeal and can continue to operate until that process expires.

There are 40,000 Uber drivers and 3.5 million passengers who use the app in London.

Mercer says TfL’s decision disregards the thousands of drivers that could be put out of work and the millions of passengers who rely on the app for transport. He slammed the move as “short-sighted,” adding that “the vast majority of Uber drivers are law-abiding, honorable people who are just out there trying to make a living.”

Mercer says some of the reasons given by TfL to refuse a license are actually things the authority is in control of – not Uber. That includes regulating where drivers get medical checks before receiving a permit, he says.

“It seems that TfL is sidestepping things, whereas in actual fact they are in control of where, for example, drivers get their medical checks done,” Mercer says.

He believes “political pressure” and lobbying from black cab drivers resulted in Friday’s decision.

“Uber is a great company to work with because we see it as a partnership providing services to passengers. Our service quality is far superior to most others, and that’s why people use it over and over.”

The decision by TfL has been backed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the trade body for the capital’s black cab drivers, who have been staunch opponents of the US ride-hailing app.

Uber has faced criticism from unions, lawmakers and traditional black cab drivers over working conditions and accusations that it does not do enough to regulate drivers. Opponents also claim it causes gridlocked roads in London.

Globally, Uber has endured a tumultuous few months after a string of scandals involving allegations of sexism and bullying at the company, leading to investor pressure which forced out former CEO and co-founder Travis Kalanick.
