The wonderful thing about human drivers is that they generally listen to instructions from first responders and are pretty good at realizing when they need to get out of the way. Even when they do not speak English, they are typically responsive to gestures.
Entirely unsurprisingly, existing resources are putting together plans on how to deal with this problem and what they’d like to see in terms of changes from AV operators and the companies which operate them.
Pretty much the same. Few years ago we even changed the law to be in tune with Germany and our other neighbors - previously the corridor was on the right side, now it’s on the left. IIRC we were the only ones who had it on the right.
It’s not really an apple-to-apples comparison. These are taxis, so they should only be compared to professional taxi drivers. Then, unless you’re comparing per ride statistics, you have to factor in the fact that drivers typically park in between customers while AVs roam leading to additional traffic and chances for “glitches”.
This is before you begin to consider whether AV taxis are a societal benefit in one of the least car-centric places in the country.
I’d really like to see the stats on how many human driver issues they had during the same time span

They work quite well in Czechia as well.
