Do you remember (before Waymo existed) what happened to traffic in SF anytime the power went out? I remember. It was pretty much the identical situation. Traffic goes to hell when the traffic lights stop working properly (without Waymo and also with Waymo).

I think the point they're making is that the failure mode of a waymo and automated air traffic control could look the same from an angle, but would have very different consequences.

I think you missed the point. But sure, traffic goes to crap when the lights go out.
