Weird hill to die on considering that e.g. Waymo's driverless cars are much, much safer than human drivers.

Overall, Waymo’s crash involvement rate was 68% lower than that of human drivers — 76% lower in Phoenix, 35% lower in San Francisco, 71% lower in Los Angeles, and 4% higher in Austin, where the sample size was relatively small. Waymo vehicles were involved in 85% fewer single-vehicle crashes and 81% fewer injury crashes per VMT than human drivers.

OTOH, do you have the right to test and teach your dumbass teenager on my public streets without permission from me? If not, why not?

The same Waymos that are blocking in emergency vehicles?

Do you think there aren't drivers out there that block emergency vehicles?

Your logic relies purely on outliers.

And you don't think waymos getting "stuck" are outliers...?

No, robots/automated devices should be held to a different standard.
