Though the safety driver disengaged twice to let emergency vehicles pass safely.

Looks like it treats it as a 4-way stop. Is this because Tesla has more training data?
Don’t think I have had a totally inactive light. I have had the power is out but emergency battery turned to blinking red light, and it correctly treats as a stop sign.
Its human takes over. FSD is still Level 3.
(Robotaxi, Tesla's Level 4 product, is still in beta. Based on reports, its humans had to intervene.)
Waymo's problem is obvious in hindsight, and quite embarrassing for them, but it can be solved with software improvements. Tesla's FSD already treats dark traffic lights as stop signs, so I would bet on Waymo fixing this as soon as they can.
But transportation that depends on infrastructure along the whole route (such as trains and busses powered by overhead lines) are always going to fail in these situations. I think that's acceptable considering how rare these events are.
Even with my generator and UPS powering my modem, the outage is not resolved until mains power comes back
These monopolies aren’t required to have uptime in the same way the POTS network was.
We had a week long outage last year and people were driving 15 minutes out to get cell signal to catch up on their data
