Bad drivers will surely be annoyed, just as they were when running red lights and speeding became things that could be enforced 24/7.
I like to consider myself a good driver, I'm mostly concerned about black-and-white application, where we had officer discretion in the past. (Discretion is hard to teach computers)
The traffic light I "ran" yesterday springs to mind. Second in line at stoplight (behind a cop no less). Light turns green, we roll into intersection. Light changes to yellow, then red, before either of us exit the intersection. An officer would not ticket me, but a computer that was not meticulously programmed probably would.
I don't know what the law is in your state, but in some states (like AZ), the law is that you only have to enter the intersection when it's green or yellow. If it turns red while you're still in the intersection, that's no problem for you, but other drivers have to wait for you to clear the intersection. So it's perfectly normal for turning drivers to enter the intersection and wait there, and then after the lights turn red and the straight-through drivers clear the way, the people turning will finish their turn, and the oncoming traffic with a green light has to wait for them to do this.
Situations like that won't always be easy and probably require manual arbitration which also creates work unfairly too.
But I'm much more interested in the egregious stuff in the rest of the world that goes largely unpoliced and kills millions a year - the Costa Rica version of your story is intersections routinely blocked by busses that are eager to cross when there's no space and an orange light!
