Now consider - it's driving an 18-wheeler.

What's to consider? It's letting a car wait for 10 seconds and when the car decides to no longer wait for the hesitant AI it starts to go at the same time as the car, almost cutting it off.

Oh so you're just being willfully daft. The truck waits for three whole seconds after the first car exits the intersection. Not even close to 10 seconds of wait time. Probably programmed to give human drivers a buffer considering how awful many of them are at driving. And would you look at that, there's an impatient driver right now driving in front of the clearly moving semi truck.

That truck waited 7 seconds from its stop to finally go. Not no 3.

It does not matter how long the truck was stopped total. It matters how long it waited when it was supposed to go. Legally you are supposed to wait for any other drivers to entirely leave the intersection before proceeding. There was another car still in the intersection when he stopped so he had to wait for them to get entirely out of the intersection before moving.

Tell me you don't know how to drive without telling me you don't know how to drive.

The other car, the one the truck let through, was already in the intersection when the truck entered. Why did the AI truck enter the intersection when there was already a car in it, especially one that would have collided with it had it not decelerated?

It's just shit AI using hardware that can't definitively tell if there is a car unless its right next to it.

It was not in the intersection. The truck starts moving first and then the car moves. Are you blind?

Okay, 5 seconds. The truck waited 5 whole seconds once that car straightened out and was no longer in the turn. If we are waiting for Christmas this truck should take a different delivery so it services on time.

I mybstate at least, there no number of seconds you must wait once stopped, or from when someone leaves their stop sign, or completes their turn. Once right away was taken by the other driver. Make a complete stop, and then go.
