1. A computer readable storage medium comprising program code for causing one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

  • sensing, by a first vehicle, a robotic status visual feature affixed to an exterior of a proximate second vehicle, the robotic status visual feature including a barcode indicating specifications of a robotic control system of the proximate second vehicle and a current level of robotic control over the proximate second vehicle;

    determining, within the first vehicle, robotic status information pertaining to the proximate second vehicle, wherein the proximate second vehicle is controlled independently of the first vehicle; and

    selecting, at the first vehicle, at least one driving maneuver based on the robotic status information of the proximate second vehicle using an automatic driving system of the first vehicle.
