Even if a human sees the bike slightly sooner, the reaction time is so much slower that it's either a wash or the self driving car is likely still faster. Median braking reaction time for humans is ~500ms[1].

- nomel 3y agoI can't read that article, but I suspect they're not including all the required foot movement there. This study [1] shows ~2 seconds from gas lift to max brake force, when using right foot. Eliminating the foot movement is why I left foot brake. I feel like I have some superpower with how fast I can react, compared to others. After all, we were taught to brake with our right foot out of tradition, not data!
