I'd venture to guess the self driving stuff is a lot buggier and a lot less mature than one might think, I'd also venture to guess it's poorly tested. I remember a couple years ago watching a Cruise driver force the car to make an illegal left turn off of Mission a few years back. That was around the time that I noticed they kept struggling to deal with right turns off of Folsom as well.
My guess is that their "fail safe" is to just stop and wait for a human to move the car. I doubt they are capable of safely passing a stopped car so when one goes tits up they all get stopped. The hubris of Cruise to test these things without drivers in a busy city is pretty rich.
