A French journalist has inadvertently captured movie footage of a Nissan driverless car failing to give sufficient room when overtaking a cyclist. The movie was shot in London earlier today. The console on the Nissan driverless car alerts the “driver” – Tetsuya Iijima of Nissan – that a cyclist is ahead on the Royal Albert Way dual carriageway in Newham, but the car does not stir over into the empty overtaking lane, and nor does Iijima over-ride the car as it squeezes past the cyclist. (Iijima is Nissan’s global head of autonomous drive development.)
