If you looked, its like on a mini kinda track. Its got walls around the patch it go's on and I guess its like restricted access if it goes around the runway.

I looked. Just around where it stops and people get on, if people were crossing the road. Maybe it's restricted like you say.

Seeing as it drives itself using lasers and all that malarky, surely it would be able to slow down if there was an obstruction like a human body. Also I'm sure there'll be very clear warning signs, warning of quiet vehicles and not to be so dumb as to step into the causeway.
