Dutch plans to develop convoys of driverless trucks, headed by a vehicle with a single human driver (to make the most of transport links for industry) are apparently compromised by the ubiquitous bicycle (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/13/bikes-put-spanner-in-works-of-dutch-driverless-car-schemes). It seems that the bicycle is too small, too light and too rapid in its changes of direction for there to be confidence that that will always be responded to by the detector systems of the driverless cars.
