    Hopefully this highlights the total absurdity of the motorcade in the first place.

    Just use a helicopter, block one street for the takeoff/landing

      Or the absurdity of autonomous cars that can find themselves in situations where they don't know what to do, and so just stop?

        Road vehicles stop all the time for all sorts of reasons.

        Safely coming to a stop because the conditions are unexpected is the right thing to do for an autonomous car.

        Slow response by exception handlers is more of a problem.
