Two characteristics of machine decision-making demonstrated here are:

1. Logical — The vehicle acts according to the pre-programmed rules and the sensor data available to it, and stops when an obstacle is detected.
2. Fast — The machine takes the decision to stop far more quickly than a human, which is very useful in such time-sensitive situations.
