I mean, that's a good failsafe.

And if they lose connection on a foggy morning on a busy street and cause a pile up?

I agree that "stopping" should happen. But, they need to stop safely (pulled onto the shoulder/parking lane/low volume side road), not just abruptly stop in the middle of the street, blocking the rest of the traffic.[1]

It's a good failsafe if there's a human driver there to take over. I don't think they should be on the road unsupervised if they can't operate without connectivity.

At a bare minimum, the onboard systems should know how to "pull over" like a human driver would if their vehicle was malfunctioning.
