This reminds me of a story. I used to be VP of engineering for a small computer company manufacturing thermal and kinetic ruggedized systems. Our systems were mostly used in military applications, but we also met the requirements of companies developing automated driving systems. Once on a visit to a customer site they related one of their current problems. Apparently their vehicles would navigate nicely, but when something like a delivery vehicle stopped in a driving lane because it couldn’t get to the curb, their vehicles would safely pull up behind it and wait for it to go. They were attempting to train their software to navigate around the stopped vehicle. I suggested that they just honk the horn.
