@Natasha_Jay I think this is AI, but given the refutations I can find are also AI, I give up.

@Natasha_Jay it doesn't instill confidence knowing that every time you cross the road, cycle, drive etc you are sharing the road with people who are that unaware

They are very clever and amazing to see during daylight but can confuse drivers in the dark when they are on the facing wall of, for instance, a hairpin bend and there are no streetlights illuminating that stretch of road before you reach bend.
There was one on a stretch road I used to use and they caused several accidents and had to be removed.
Amazingly realistic in some cases
