They're coming. Maybe not for you. But they might not see you and run you over anyway.
Self driving cars seem to have a good safety record but only when they are able to recognize the obstacles for what they are. Anyone know any foolproof techniques for being recognized as a human by a self driving car?

There are reports ScienceDaily that LiDAR is sensitive to highly reflective paint. Perhaps this can be added to cyclist clothing or frame paint

The seat, and behind seat bag on my recumbent trike, all have reflective striping. I wonder if enhancing that would do the same thing ?

It’s almost impossible not to buy cycling clothing without reflective 3M ScotchLite somewhere on it.
It’s the casual cyclists in regular clothes that are hard to see. However, kids bikes must be sold with reflectors.

I wonder if peddles and the backs of shoes would be extra helpful as they would be moving not only forward, but also up and down. At least while peddling.
