That's actually a fantastic idea

Aye, credit where it's due; this is a great way to differentiate between human and machine controlled devices. It's detectable by both, and can help in cases where people blame the autodrive, or car companies claim human error.

Rule #1: constant foresight and respect to other drivers

Rule #2: Expect mistakes, illegal u-turns, and people taking right of way
