    The wonderful thing about human drivers is that they generally listen to instructions from first responders and are pretty good at realizing when they need to get out of the way. Even when they do not speak English, they are typically responsive to gestures.

    Entirely unsurprisingly, existing resources are putting together plans on how to deal with this problem and what they’d like to see in terms of changes from AV operators and the companies which operate them.

      I disagree that human drivers in general act more responsible than AV. And for exactly this use case as well, I read too many stories about emergency cars stuck in traffic causing death of someone.

      The only country where emergency corridor works well is Germany, afaik.
