This made me chuckle.

@CommonSparrow we have quite a few rotaries (traffic circles, roundabouts, etc.) on Cape Cod. They can be baffling for some drivers, so I can only imagine what a robo-taxi might do.

There are just a handful of them here in the #RochesterNY area. One in my neck of the woods, where there was a strange multi-zig-zag intersection, one street ending in a T-intersection, and you had to jog sideways a few yards on the cross street, then pick up the original street to continue, while meanwhile the cross street traffic tried to make left turns in front of you. It was a mess, until it was finally smoothed out with a beautiful roundabout, which works so smoothly!
