This Is A Very 21st Century News Story

9/29/25 SFGate:
"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. Driverless cars are unable to be cited for traffic violations unless there is a human safety driver in the vehicle.

"San Bruno police wrote in a social media post Saturday they alerted Waymo to the “glitch” and that their citation books don’t have a box for “robot.” "


And I do not want to imagine the cuffs they need for a clanker.
