You don’t expect that someone will blow through a red light, but you expect that they could, and so you look both ways before you accelerate if you’re the first

You wouldn’t expect someone to suddenly accelerate from a stop while they have a red light, so you don’t typically look both ways when driving through a light that has already been green for a while when there are cars on either side waiting.
I’m not saying Waymo cars do that; just an example of expected unexpected vs unexpected unexpected behavior.
