"We jokingly play chicken with
them when we're trying to cross the
street," he said. "You see one about
to make a right turn at a light, and
they're obviously trying to decide if
we're going to step into the street
or not. It's so tempting to sort of
step toward the curb, which makes
the car stop instantly and wait for
you to go, except you don't go.
"We're just messing with it," he
said, "to see what it'll do.”
