One edge case I have seen is law enforcement officers using loudspeakers on their cars to give drivers specific instructions such as to pull over in a certain spot or move out of a certain area. How will level 5 autonomous vehicles handle that case? There is no useful visual signal, just the audio. Will they need speech recognition and NLP that works in noisy environments?

In theory you could have an API integration with law enforcement that allow them to switch the car into "pull over" mode.

In theory new technology can do all sorts of magical things. In reality the San Jose Police department is broke and can't even afford to hire enough officers to comply with federal guidelines. Where is the funding going to come from?
