I think the point is that humans do make this judgement call. We know what a real emergency vehicle and what real emergency personnel looks like, and we know what a crazy person waving their arms looks like.

When some idiot in the opposing lanes is waving for me to take a left across multiple lanes of moving traffic, I know that I should ignore their idiotic traffic direction. I know that when there's an emergency situation with a fire fighter telling me to continue through a red light, I know that I should follow the directions.

I hope you're not suggesting like a hater that a Tesla with FSD (available next week, I promise) isn't capable of performing a snap psych eval of any random person standing at the side of the road.

I am suggesting that a car which follows all human gestures is not better than a car that follows no human gestures.
