Ummm when you are driving and hear a EMT vehicle you as a driver have to immediately pull to the side and out of the way. Sounds like your giving the robot guinea pig AI car a pass when clearly it did not and will not act like a human does.

Unless it was already in the intersection and blocked... or the fire truck turned a corner quickly. Or a hundred other things. There's a reason the emergency drivers don't plow straight through intersections. Let's just see the footage when it comes out rather than making stuff up.

Both of you are right. Drivers are supposed to pull over, but also the emergency vehicle is required to avoid crashing into the ones that don't/can't.

Safety is the first rule, yielding the right-of-way is second. This was not an emergency vehicle behind the Cruise car, it was an emergency vehicle entering an intersection against the signal (running the red). They are supposed to stop and proceed only once they verify the intersection is clear. Another example is when you are at a red light and an emergency vehicle comes up behind you with their lights & siren activated. What do you do? Wait where you are for them to go around, or the light to turn green. Firefighters everywhere urge you not to run a red light just to make way for them, because it makes everyone less safe, including them.

  Why u giving this guinea pig robot car a pass ... how many other accidents need to happen for cruise to learn and perfect its algorithm... some of their lessons they learn will be at the hands of severely hurting someone or many ppl directly or indirectly. Cruise hasn't been at this as long as Waymo nor are we seeing Waymo have such accidents .. seems they are just trying to kill it like Uber did and we see what happened there. Overall I'm against tech bros trying to kill it and doing anything and all cost to win a market to the point it actually kills ppl. I think most ppl who have morals and aren't greedy )have skin in this robot car game) share this sentiment.
