That's what makes this example bizarre to me. I had thought that AutoPilot's ideal situation was having a moving vehicle in front of it. For example, AP does not have the ability to react to traffic lights, but can kind of hack it by following the pace of the vehicle ahead of it (assuming the vehicle doesn't run a red light):

That's a heck of an ass-u-mption. Running the red light as the n-th exponentially increases the probability you'll get into collision.
