    I don’t have a horse in this race but isn’t freshly poured concrete without enclosure an equal risk to self-driving and user-driven cars?

      Hell, in my pedestrian days I stepped in some wet concrete on the way to the bus. I took a different path to the bus after that, since I was super spottable with my fully checkered clothing.

      Agreed, it happens to human drivers too. It’s on whoever carried out the roadwork to follow the regulations, although if a self-driving car was somewhat smarter it could avoid poured concrete.
