Obviously, the car noticed my presence (he installed video cameras on the perimeter) and stood motionless a few seconds. In the end, he still started to move, but at this time I moved a centimeter, still standing, and the car immediately braked.

I continued to stand, she also retained the stillness, then she began to move again, and I had to swing the bike to keep the balance. The car braked sharply.

We continue this little dance of two minutes, and the car and did not get to the middle of the intersection. Two guys inside the car laughing and pushed some buttons on the laptop, probably tried to change some code to "teach" the behavior of the car in such a situation. And though it was some pipets, but with an unmanned vehicle, I felt more secure than if the wheel was a man ».
