There are still areas tech cannot help for example, making ethical decisions like: if it comes to that point, who do you save? The pedestrian or the passenger? All this has to be resolved via democratic\/policy decisions and am sure will be taken care of once the technology itself matures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, getting back to technology, there is this thing I came across, that is, the algorithms are having a hard time <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3068141\/bikes-are-still-a-headache-for-self-driving-cars\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recognizing the bikes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the road.

It is going to be impossible to suddenly react to something that appears in your view!
