I saw something like this in Santa Monica last week, but it was unaccompanied. It was crossing the street at a crosswalk and timed the light poorly. It went about 2 seconds before the light changed and ended up blocking traffic for a few seconds. I’m not sure if it was autonomous or remote controlled.

I also wonder if they’ll eventually start getting attacked or stolen. I guess we’ll see.

I think the future is having some kind of public API for reading the traffic light state of all lights. I'm sure internally local government already has this data but they need to expose it for every automated bot to see.
