    Just have them be overridden with a key like Elevators. Let policemen and other responders be able to drive, stop or direct them by inserting the fireman’s key.

    Or alternatively, just take full liberty and bash the autonomous vehicle out of the way. No key required.

      Hell yeah and then we can get a universal remote from the dank web and have free cars literally everywhere I’m down.

        It doesn’t necessarily have to be a get-free-car feature. It could be limited to 20km/h or something if operated in control mode.

      We already have the tech to let signal lights at intersections know emergency vehicles are approaching so they can direct traffic accordingly. No reason this couldn’t be adopted to autonomous vehicles.

        OK, if the companies fielding the robot taxis pay for implementing those new systems entirely.
        Since their products, which they profit from, make those systems necessary in the first place.

      Let policemen and other responders be able to drive, stop or direct them by inserting the fireman’s key.

      Then they can be remote-controlled by criminals to abduct people. That doesn’t seem wise.
