Anticipating and avoiding a collision with a red light runner

The Aurora Driver correctly anticipates that another vehicle will run a red light and avoids a collision.

In this video, the Aurora Driver is stopped at a red light. The light changes to green, but the Aurora Driver detects a vehicle approaching the intersection at speed. Anticipating that the vehicle—a red pickup truck—will run the red light, the Aurora Driver delays accelerating into the intersection. The pickup truck proceeds to speed through the intersection 4 seconds after the light has changed. Once the coast is clear, the Aurora Driver continues through the intersection safely. 

Additional info: The Aurora Driver can compute near-instantaneous decisions based on sensor data, and is always calculating what is likely to be in its path.
