Re: Was it a fair test?

Bicycles nowadays are mostly plastic, carbon fiber, or even wood/bamboo. You can't rely on them having any big amount of metal on them, not to mention pedestrians are usually non-metallic too, so your car should definitely not rely on metal detection to avoid diving into people or animals (either on foot or on bikes/scooters/skateboards/whatever).
