In an uncontrolled intersection, which vehicle has the right of way when two cars arrive at the same time?

At an uncontrolled intersection there are no signals or signs, so the driver on the right has the right of way when two cars arrive at the same time. This means the car coming from your right goes first, and the car on your left yields and waits its turn. The larger vehicle doesn’t automatically have priority, and pedestrians would have priority only in a crosswalk situation, not simply because both cars arrived together. This rule keeps motion predictable and reduces the chance of a collision.
