Google driverless car chasese cyclist for 3 miles in road rage incident

According to eye witnesses in Palo Alto, the incident started when a middle-aged cyclist with an enormous sense of entitlement jumped the traffic lights causing the Google self-driving car to slam on its brakes to avoid a collision. The cyclist then laughed, gave the Google car the finger, and sped off. But it is what happened next that made observers realise driverless cars really were here to stay.

“After braking hard, the Google self-driving car was stationary in the middle of the intersection and then steam rose from under the car” said bystander Jason Phillips. “I thought the car had stalled but then the engine started revving and the horn starting making a noise that sounded very much like ‘fuck you arsehole.’ Before I knew it, the car was off chasing the cyclist and beeping ‘fuck you arsehole’, and ‘do you know who I am?’, every 100 yards or so.”
