    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?

        Freezing and not moving is also a very human panic response.

          Most humans, when faced with a human directing traffic, will not panic or freeze, but will just follow the directions.
