You can see the lane sort of end, then cones, and then a choice that a human would make easily but that can easily confuse a computer as to "what to do next" -- and the computer chose to pretty much just drive straight. Definitely scary. I have a fear of being launched off these flyovers.... and really tall bridges. I have nightmares that I'm going to be on a bridge that gets steeper and steeper and I have no way to stop or turn around and there is a huge line up of cars behind me.... eventually the bridge gets so steep that I kind of fall backwards off the bridge. It's a recurring nightmare, no idea why :(


Damn that's some nightmare! I hope you don't live in Texas.


I do. Austin, TX. The bridge that terrified me the most was a bridge I crossed going to Lake Charles in Louisiana. The Rainbow bridge.... that thing is terrifying. Image: https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/482808310...

I hate it when that happens :)
