Well, to point out one obvious factor, when something pulls out of A1, it may think it has a clear path, at that precise moment in time it has a clear path, but what has also to be taken into account is that in 30 seconds time A3 will also pull out. So time / forward anticipation is the third dimension here. Bit like chess.
