I ride a motorcycle in SF daily and frequently "split lanes". I saw one of the Ubers all decked out with spinning radar and wondered how it would react as I passed through at 10-15mph. There was a person at the steering wheel, I am not sure who was in control. Thankfully it was uneventful. I thought the car might brake or veer away from me.

I'd be curious as well, but after lane splitting in the bay area, my default assumption would be that a self-driving car would react in a safer way. In my experience most lane splitting close calls are due to inattentive drivers changing lanes without signalling or randomly shifting position within their own lane.
