Seems like a bad idea - you know someone is going to figure out how to take advantage of that.

  • Scofflaw - ai has no pride or ego so I can cut them off at will and they will always back down
  • scammer - manufacturer has deep pockets - where’s my neck brace?

I'm sorry, but I can't actually imagine that happening where I live.
Do people who cut others off care who's driving?

I'm sure some people take age, gender, and/or race into consideration when deciding who they can cut off

You might be giving them too much credit for thinking about what they’re doing.

Or you might be underestimating the lengths racists would go to just to inconvenience someone who looks like a foreigner
