The strangest part for me is when the car drives away from the officer, but then pulls to the side and puts on its flashers. If I had to guess, I'd say maybe it was in a mode where it started to drive away & sensed the police lights, then pulled over?
In any case, we've seen videos where police will literally fire their weapons into a car that tries to drive away from them. I guess this car got lucky today.

- mr_toad 5y agoYou can’t see from the video but I suspect the police car had tuned off it’s lights which caused the driverless car to proceed as normal, but then it pulled over again when the police car tuned them back on again. You’d expect a driverless car to pull over to let emergency vehicles pass, not to actually be stopped by them.
- robbrown451 5y agoIs it possible the car was given instructions to do that, to get out of the way of traffic? The place where it is initially is awkwardly near a "parklet" (outdoor dining area in a former parking spot) as well as right at an intersection and fire hydrant.
