I am surprised he played with it for a whole two minutes though. Maybe he just enjoys showing off his extreme track standing skills? </p> gembo on "Google's self-driving cars confused by 'hipster cyclists'" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15405#post-197950 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 10:53:16 +0000 gembo 197950@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not just hipsters who track stand. Disappointingly not possible to see in the video whether the chap track standing on the fixie has a beard. Like the video they have just repeated a single forward backward track stand on a loop? So looks like the guy is track standing for eternity? Though I only watched for a finite length of time so cannot make this assertion with 100 per cent certainty </p> chdot on "Google's self-driving cars confused by 'hipster cyclists'" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15405#post-197948 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 10:42:55 +0000 chdot 197948@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>For its part, Google says it is trying to take cyclists seriously. The company has patented a method by which self-driving cars can identify cyclists and understand their hand signals.</p> <p>Though Google still hasn’t answered the question of why hipsters love fixed-gear bikes so much.</p> <p>"</p> <p>Maybe hipsters will move on to driverless cars? </p> gibbo on "Google's self-driving cars confused by 'hipster cyclists'" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15405#post-197944 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 10:18:30 +0000 gibbo 197944@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not from the Daily Mash, but from Business Insider:</p> <p><a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/google-self-driving-cars-get-confused-by-hipster-bicycles-2015-8">Google's self-driving cars are really confused by 'hipster bicyclists' and their fixies</a> </p>
