Then everyone should lose their licenses as well by your draconian reasoning. Because…

And they don’t, it’s chaos.

You obviously have higher expectations for autonomous cars than humans, it is not the other way around for those of us who disagree with you. The only difference is that Waymo can get better with experience and humans generally don’t.

Do you live in areas where traffic lights go out regularly?
Because for human driver it is a non-issue. It becomes an all-way stop and you take turns, it is easy. Traffic throughput slows down a bit, but nothing approaching chaos about it. If waymo can't deal with this, that's a problem.

Genuine question, do we have data for accident rates in traffic-lights-out intersections?
If I remember my research correctly, accident rates go up but fatalities and injuries go way down.
