Thanks for the term as well ("zipper merge") — that's what I was referring to.

Yeah, I really wonder how it'd fare in that case while differentiating between "there are just 3 cars there, no need to yield" and "it's an infinite inflow of traffic, better yield to one car"?

My Waymo ride was in LA. They aren’t operating on freeways there yet. Maybe this is one of the challenges.

Apparently they do operate on freeways in San Francisco so maybe someone who has taken a ride there can share their experience.
