A method for traffic management of autonomous vehicles in emergency situations is disclosed. Upon receipt of an emergency signal including information on an anomalous traffic condition by an autonomous vehicle, the method includes broadcasting the emergency signal using a wireless communication device. The method further includes establishing an ad hoc wireless network among a plurality of autonomous vehicles and exchanging data among the vehicles of the network. The method further includes collaboratively computing intent instructions for the vehicles of the network to avoid or mitigate the anomalous traffic condition, distributing the instructions among the vehicles of the network, and executing the instructions by each corresponding vehicle.
