What happens with Teslas on autosteer when an emergency vehicle approaches from behind? Will it safely get out of the way for flashing blue lights (US police), red lights (fire, ambulance). Amber lights - tow trucks? If a police car with lights on pulls in behind and waits, will autosteer pull you over? I am wondering how to safely stop a car with autosteer ON and driver OFF.

Apparently, it'll pull over and turn on the emergency blinking lights.

With just regular autosteer, absolutely nothing. Generally speaking, I'd expect the same response out of Nav on Autopilot with the "Enhanced AutoPilot" or "Full Self Driving" features.
