Millard-Ball contends that pedestrians and drivers are engaged in a game of chicken, in which one party eventually decides to yield to the other based on the psychological perception of risk.
With a human behind the wheel, there's always a chance the driver will behave unpredictably or won't see the pedestrian.
Automated cars, however, are programmed to be perceptive, predictable and law abiding. So pedestrians will be able to take advantage of that tendency toward deference. If they do so, it could make traveling in a self-driving car exceedingly slow.
"Secure in the knowledge that a car will yield, pedestrians can cross with impunity," Millard-Ball wrote. "They merely need to act unpredictably or step into the street to force the risk-averse car to slow down. From the point of view of a passenger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a street filled with unaccompanied five-year-old children."

Perhaps the solution is to make autonomous cars behave more like humans?
