We humans often roll a stop sign (hopefully at a lower speed than 5.6mph) because we are impatient and because we have quite a lot of faith in our general intelligence and situational awareness to be able to make a reasonable call in these situations.

Still we often get this wrong and somebody gets hurt.

A computer is not cursed with our human impatience so why program it in? But more importantly the computer has none of the general intelligence and situational awareness that a dim human has, and they won’t for a long time.
