The human behavior can also result in an accident when a car or pedestrian that expects the car to stop walks out in front of the car. In theory, the car should be paying attention in all directions at the same time and won't get into an accident, but car sensors are not infallible, especially when detecting pedestrians, moreso if they are partially obscured by foliage, newspaper stands, etc. Automated cars should stop 100% of the time at intersections where they are required to do so. When the stop signs are changed to "Self-driving yield" signs, then the cars can do a rolling stop. So my point wasn't that cars should act like drunk drivers, but that modeling human behaviors is not the right mindset for self-driving cars.
