content: I'm a pretty aggressive cyclist (jump lights, swerve between lanes) generally aiming to preserve the natural momentum of the cars around me. Most car drivers who see me matching their speed and veering into their lane, use their eyes and know exactly what I am going to do and don't freak out as a result. Some car drivers (scared housewives mostly) don't use their eyes and rely on traffic lights and other automated measures. If they don't see me coming, then they are fine  - since their world hasn't changed and so they didn't freak out.  But some see me at the last minute and freak out completely. It's these drivers that I hope the automated cars won't emulate. Yes, technically the right thing to do when someone violates a small traffic rule is to stop and assess the situation. But it can really make it hard to preserve the momentum of traffic and maintain a nice flow.
