I disagree that human drivers in general act more responsible than AV. And for exactly this use case as well, I read too many stories about emergency cars stuck in traffic causing death of someone.
The only country where emergency corridor works well is Germany, afaik.
They work quite well in Czechia as well.
Sounds good, can you share an example. In Germany, this is called "Rettungsgasse" and works (mostly always) like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kPT7VHVTb8
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.
This sounds really good. Thank you for sharing!
