    And people wonder why I don’t trust the safety of driverless cars run by a company that never thought to account for power outages.

    just stopping is not that bad of an outcome if I’m being honest. Pulling over would be better.

      I’ve watched Seattle drivers do worse in a power outage so just stopping was probably safer. The other side of the coin is that everyone gets trapped on the road during an outage as stopped cars block everything.
