Police Pulled Over a Driverless Car

Digital Trends reports that police in Phoenix stopped a Waymo robotaxi after it made an illegal U-turn at a traffic light.

  • No driver, no licence – Officers found an empty seat but still needed to issue a citation.

  • Law meets logic – Traffic laws require a driver, yet no human was behind the wheel.

  • Waymo’s reply – The company admitted the error and said it’s reviewing the incident to prevent repeats.
