The autonomous cars They are a total mystery, a question that remains unresolved and that is surprising more and more people, including the police who have already found it necessary to stop vehicles for different offenses.
These cars already work in the United States, but on a trial basis. The vehicles circulate in the robotaxi modality, they already have passengers. A MotorPasion report shows the difficulties during interventions.

For example, Waymo’s robotaxis fleet, which works with Jaguar I-Pace electric cars, is already active in Phoenix (Arizona), San Francisco or Los Angeles. And the same passengers have recorded the strange situations.
“Sorry agent, you are trying, but there is no one behind the wheel”said a passenger who was aboard a robotaxi, while the police ordered it to stop to the side.

The policemen go through these difficulties that in many cases cause laughter to passersby. A similar situation occurred in San Francisco (California), with Cruise’s vehicles. In this case a Chevrolet Bolt model was used, but it had no passengers.
Some people recorded the event. A patrol orders the vehicle to stop because it did not have its lights on. The two agents repeated the order because the car did not listen to them and they even got out of their patrol car.
Welcome to the future. Cop pulls over driverless car (because no lights?) Then Cruise goes on the lamb. (via https://t.co/mtmsIeOAUP) pic.twitter.com/ecQ5xXuSnS

According to Cruise, “the vehicle resumed its march to stop in a safer place for traffic”. He also informed that in these situations there is a telephone line. The cops called and control of the car was taken remotely. There was no complaint.
These situations have been repeated in various parts of the United States. Autonomous cars have not known how to react to the order of the police. They have even blocked the passage of firefighters.
