I, For One, Welcome Our Self-Driving Overlords

Clankers can break the law. Police pull over driverless car after illegal move on Bay Area street

Police were left baffled last week after pulling over a car without anyone behind the wheel in San Bruno. Officers were taking part in DUI enforcement when they observed a Waymo car making an illegal U-turn right in front of them.

They pulled the car over, but since it had no human occupants, they were unable to issue a ticket.

So when it kills someone in an accident, no murder will have been committed. Or something.

The Future is stupid.

    send a ticket to the owner, just like with a traffic camera.

      That isn't legal in all states. Or it wasn't... I'm sure they have been changing that to make it legal
