Prosecute driverless car devs for software snafus, say Brit cyclists

Cyclists should already be easy to detect, simply in order for regular humans to see them. They are already required to have functional lights, reflectors etc. They shouldn't need more than that for AVs.

If a cyclist chooses to wear black at night, not have lights on, and has no reflectors, then the cyclist should be being prosecuted, banned from cycling, and their bike given to charity or crushed if it's unsafe. As they would not only be being a danger to themselves, but other road users and pedestrians.
