Driverless cars need to be more human, study finds

Self-driving cars may need to act more like humans, new research has found. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found autonomous cars with a greater focus on being "socially sensitive" would prove safer. What does being socially sensitive mean? In short, it seems that it's driving more like a person. The researchers found that autonomous vehicles would be safer if programmed to "incorporate ethical considerations" and focus on protecting more vulnerable people on the road such as pedestrians or cyclists.
