Had a driverless way make an abrupt left turn in front of me (going opposite direction) on Bayshore a few weeks ago. If it signaled it did so at the last minute. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid broadsiding. They aren’t safe.

This sounds like my average day while working in downtown Atlanta. The one-way streets in Midtown can be a bit confusing but they are well marked.

I can't count how many times I was almost either run over or hit while driving by someone who went the wrong way down a one-way street. It got to the point where I had the habit of almost exclusively looking for traffic in the wrong direction when using a crosswalk.


I mean, we could be spending effort on making human driving safer, but where is the monopoly in that?
