Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections
xthexder@l.sw0.com 18 hours agoHonestly, I’m happy they picked this as a default “car doesn’t know what to do” scenario. From what I’ve seen Tesla’s default is to just ignore the unknown thing, they I wouldn’t be surprised if Robotaxis would have just treated all the blank lights as green.

What’s the default on regular drivers when the traffic lights are not working?

An intersection with the lights no longer working is treated as a stop sign.

I admit I scratch my head at 4 way intersections with blinking yellows on all 4 though. Usually the bigger road gets the yellows for caution, the adjacent lanes have to yield.

I’ve not seen an intersection with four blinking yellow lights in California; typically two ways are blinking yellow (caution) and the other two are blinking red (stop).

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don’t drive.
A LOT of drivers actually don’t know the answer to this one!
