In my experience as a pedestrian - they're extremely cautious, which I appreciate.

For most human drivers, I'll wave them through intersections if I'm on the far side and crossing will slow them down substantially -- partially out of sympathy for driving through slow crosswalks, partially out of self-preservation as drivers are often impatient and chomping at the bit to get through.

With the self-driving cars, they really creep up to the intersection so I never really consider waving them through (and I have no idea how they'd react). They're very good about not entering intersections when I'm approaching and they wait until I'm all the way through as well, so in my experience, they're very cautious. It's nice too since where I am in the sunset has random blocks with 4-way stops adjacent to 2-way stops, which is fairly dangerous for human drivers but the robotaxis handle those without issue.

This is why I can't wait for self-driving cars to take over. They are sooo much safer for me as a pedestrian.

They could almost make cars tolerable in the city. Almost.
