Feel bad for the old guy; he was helpless. I think the message might have stood a better chance of getting across if the guy on the bike had dismounted & taken off his helmet to talk to him.
Yea I can imagine how scary this dude looks all geared up (srs)

Autonomous cars cant come soon enough, poor old dude.

Idk even if the guy wasn't in full riding regalia, the old man sounds like he was in the stages of dementia. He didn't have a clue what was going on.
