Now tell me how many times a cop or firefighter had to move a normal car out of the way in an emergency situation.

Other commenters saw Waymo and instantly turned their brain off.
I cannot think of many situations where a car is broken down/stuck in the way of traffic and police do not help direct traffic out of the way while the vehicle is recovered. In this case, there is no driver so it needs to be moved by someone.
If, like the situation in the article describes, people are being routed the wrong direction, it’s really unlikely that a roadside assistance team operated or contracted by Waymo would be able to get to the vehicle. Who else is supposed to move it?
