I mean, yes, if the Waymo's could safely pull over, or even know how to handle every emergency situation, I think that would be better. I'd say that's a big ask though. Training autonomous vehicles for blackouts, fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, hail storms, landslides, sinkholes, tsunamis, floods, or even just fog is not really feasible given that most humans won't even navigate the properly. I'll keep saying it: I'm glad the cars were set to fail-safely when they encountered a situation they couldn't understand.
I honestly wish the human drivers blowing through intersections that night would have done the same. It's miracle no one was killed.

That's a non-response response

A bit deflective, huh?
No one was injured this time but that's a huge assumption on your part
