One Austin-based cyclist has reported an encounter in which one of the autonomous cars got comically uncertain of how to act when it noticed him doing a track stand at an intersection. Whenever his bike made even a slight movement, the car lurched forward and quickly hit the brakes. Though nothing happened out of it but it become quite clear that Google's self-driving code didn't have any idea about how to handle a not-quite-stationary bike.

While talking about the whole affair, Google told the Washington Post that this is the type of a real-life input it wanted to get as it is developing its intelligent vehicle tech. This affair has also come up as a frank reminder of how far autonomous vehicles have to go.

At times unexpected hazards take place, no matter how much experienced you are on the road. With these autonomous cars there is a relief they are still predictable in a way in comparison to those human-operated models. The cyclist said that he felt safe around the robotic ride.

Google has designed and coded its self-driving cars in such a way that they can be able to handle even the strangest traffic conditions.
