They don't operate yet in the hills around LA, but I trot this example out when talking about Waymo. In LA a lot of the streets in central LA are not marked, have cars parked on both sides and are not wide enough for two cars to drive in opposite directions at the same time (ie they're extremely tight where you have to wait for a car to pass before you can proceed). Waymo has no problem waiting its turn and then going when it's clear. One thing I've noticed, though, is that Waymos have gotten more aggressive in these situations than they used to be (note that they seem to have gotten more bold/aggressive in other circumstances as well). In fact they were so aggressive pulling away from a curb on one of my last rides that I wrote to Waymo support telling them I thought it was too aggressive. Still a very big Waymo fan. Btw, that sense that they're being more aggressive may be entirely in my head, but I'd bet money that it's true, which begs some questions about our robot overlords adapting their behavior to the behavior of the humans around them. Interesting if true.
