    the autonomous car’s fault for adding a slight delay!

    And, as suggested with a summary apparently taken from video evidence, the only car blocking the route cleared the area as soon as it was able. … You know; like a human driver should (but, if you’ve ever seen the traffic to the tunnel in 07306 and heard the woop-wu-woop-woop DJ as he tries to remind drivers to GTFO of the way, you’d know they don’t).

    “On August 14 two Cruise AVs encountered an active emergency scene at an intersection in which a pedestrian had been hit by a human driven car. The first vehicle promptly clears the area once the light turns green and the other stops in the lane to yield to first responders who are directing traffic. Throughout the entire duration the AV is stopped, traffic remains unblocked and flowing to the right of the AV,” Cruise said in a statement obtained by KRON-TV.
