Cool! Thank you for sharing this.
Here's the part where he starts talking about the 2mph bus accident [1]. He says the self-driving car should not have moved. He does not say why. He says they ran a lot of tests to make sure it will not happen again.
In plain English, I'd say, when the SDC is stopped on the side of the road, give sufficient time for traffic coming from behind to clear out before the SDC moves forward. Also, if an accident is imminent, being in a non-moving position is probably safer and less likely to cause liability for the SDC than moving. Plus, rolling over some sandbags is probably preferable to being hit by a bus.
