Feel like the system should be made of layers. A rational one that follows lanes and rules and such but also a more reptilian backup system that self-preserves.

Feel like the system should be made of layers. A rational one that follows lanes and rules and such but also a more reptilian backup system that self-preserves. The latter can't be used all the time because of danger to others but it's similar to the evasive moves someone would take in danger. This same pattern of trying to make a perfect system instead of multiple layers by acknowledging lack of perfection exists quite a bit in tech.
