I&#x27;ve read that one of the problems with Google&#x27;s self-driving cars has been that other cars tend to run into them because the self-driving cars drive extremely conservatively and violate other driver&#x27;s expectations of how a typical California driver is expected to behave.<p>I think this sort of thing is something developers are going to have to find ways of dealing with; a car can be technically driving in a safe, legal way but if it&#x27;s too different from how a human would drive, they are going to be a safety hazard.<p>Of course, standard driving behavior varies dramatically from place to place.  For instance, in the United States, everyone is expected to get out of the way of whichever car has the right-of-way in that situation.  In Indonesia, the car that has the right-of-way is expected to slow down, stop, or move over to accommodate other cars that do things like pull out in front of them in an intersection or pass on a two-lane road with oncoming traffic.  A self-driving car in Jakarta would need to be trained very differently than a self-driving car in Seattle or Paris.  Not just because the traffic laws are different, but because drivers have very different expectations about what is normal behavior.
