    Anecdote: some years back, when Google was just getting their self-driving program going, I remember pulling up next to one of their early self-driving cars, rolling down my window, and pointing out to the safety driver that they were supposed to merge into the bicycle lane if doing a right turn and that his car wasn’t doing that.

    Today, I was sitting in traffic in the right-hand lane of a road, and a Waymo vehicle — that program, after years more of development — pulled up, merged into the (large enough for a car) bike lane, and then properly stopped and did a right-on-red.
