I believe other commenters have said that autopilot doesn't respond to stop lights, but aside from that: if a car sees an unlit stoplight it probably should stop. An unlit stoplight could mean that a bulb is burned out, or that there's a power failure in the area. In either case, continuing through an intersection is unsafe because you can't guarantee the cross-traffic is yielding right-of-way.
In this case, obviously it's not a safety concern because the object is being hauled on the back of a truck.
- tshaddox 5y agoI routinely drive on roads where traffic lights are active only at certain times, and when they are unlit the appropriate behavior is to ignore them. Also, these unlit traffic lights were in the back of a truck, and should definitely be ignored.
- erik_seaberg 5y agoAre the hours marked? Everywhere I've lived expected me to treat a broken stop light as a stop sign, not just YOLO through. (They tape a trash bag over it until they're finished installing it.)
- elihu 5y agoInteresting; I've never seen that. Seems unsafe to me.
