Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct
Which of the following statements about remotely operated small vehicles is incorrect?
[Multiple choice · Hard]
- A.Before operating on a road, confirm that a mark is displayed in a visible location
- B.Notify the Public Safety Commission one week before starting operation
- C.In principle, the same rules as vehicles apply✓
- D.The remote control device must be operated reliably
Answer: C: In principle, the same rules as vehicles apply
Explanation
Remotely operated small vehicles (e.g. delivery robots that travel along roads without a human aboard) follow pedestrian rules in principle (Rules of the Road Ch.2 §11 2(1)). Option 3 says "the same rules as vehicles" — but they follow pedestrian rules, so option 3 is the wrong statement (the "incorrect" one the question asks for). The trap is intuitively treating them like vehicles because they are machines.
