So what would happen if the passenger is arrested by the police for being in a car that refused to stop? I wonder what legal principle could be used to justify this. Involuntary failure to stop? Are there any laws about driverless vehicles and who is responsible for problems?

Why would they arrest the passenger?

> So what would happen if the passenger is arrested by the police for being in a car that refused to stop? Just for being in the car? Presumably they would be questioned and released. > I wonder what legal principle could be used to justify this. "Probable cause" of having committed a crime is typically the principle I believe. > Involuntary failure to stop? Are there any laws about driverless vehicles and who is responsible for problems? I don't know and can't imagine what involuntary failure to stop might be. I'm sure they could fit an existing law to the situation if they suspected the passenger was instructing the car to not stop.
