And when robots get there I wonder if they will resent cyclists for the computational cost they impose - and if they will find endless ways to rationalise that resentment (cyclists break the rules, cyclists don't pay road tax etc).
I cycle and drive and when I drive I hate cyclists and find it very hard not to blame them for it, but it's just because they make driving harder |

If I drive a ferrari, should I hate all those non-turbo car peasants for making me have to drive slower? Of course not, I'm using shared infrastructure that everyone has paid for, even those pesky cyclists and slower vehicles.
I'm a cyclist 80% of the time, a driver the other 20%. I pay my taxes and rego on my car and follow the rules, even while cycling, and you still hate me.
I hate our lack of suitable infrastucture with properly separated cycle paths, not the riders.
When you're driving on a shared road you need to deal with slower vehicles and drive safely. If that's too hard for you to deal with, maybe you shouldn't be on the road.
