I like to imagine to avoid such situations there would some kind of control on the dash that allows a stalemate to be overridden (not the steering wheel :P). It would be great if it were a "give way" button rather than a "I'm going now" button.

Doesn't matter how the controls look - you can't have the cake of Level 5 autonomy and eat it too by having a human giving control inputs.
(GP: That's actually easy: random exponential binary backoff. It works for other domains quite well.)

In this particular instance yes, that is easy. The core of the problem is that hard rules force traffic into this deadlock. To avoid this deadlock autonomous vehicles must be taught to sometimes bend the rules. Which brings its own can of worms - how do you teach a robot under what specific circumstances rules can be bent.
