That would actually be great. Some kind of eye brow raise, a gesture, any recognition/indication that it perceives a life to preserve.

Erm, have you ever taken a Waymo and watched the detection screen?

If you can see it, it sees you. Period. I guarantee it.

It can see and gives special priority to humans. I have watched it mark people at night that I couldn't see at all.

Doing weird shit on the road? Certainly possible. Missing seeing a human? Definitely not happening.

Just because someone knows that logically, doesn't mean that it reassures them in the moment.
Especially given the fact that software bugs do happen. If it’s not Waymo, it could be some other half-assed full self driving software package.
