  • Scofflaw - Why does the person in the self-driving car care? They're just chilling. Zooming ahead of other cars doesn't get you more than a few minutes ahead. If that's really important to you, you should have left your house a few minutes earlier.

  • Scammer - These cars are covered in cameras and radars. These are the opposite of the cars you want to jump in front of (except Tesla, which sucks). They'll probably just film you launching yourself from the curb and stop before they hit you. I guess you can get on America's Funniest Home Videos?
