Re: San Francisco cops pull over a Cruise driverless car for no lights on
#2I remain confused on how these cars are allowed on the road. Did they pass a driver's license check? Who's responsible? Who gets the ticket? In this instance, you can see that the car performed a dangerous maneuver by running from the cops, with its lights still off, and crossing an intersection, which is then spun by the company as finding a "safer" spot to pull over at. Even though, it found a spot essentially identical to where it was. It also took off pretty fast.

#3How do you pull over an autonomous car? Like, how does it know that it needs to pull over?

"We work closely with the SFPD on how to interact with our vehicles and have a dedicated phone number for them to call in situations like this.”
And yes, that seems thoroughly impractical at scale.

Ok. So I guess the SFPD has been tailing the Cruise car, called the number, and then Cruise personnel made it pull over remotely?

There's laws and regulations for this kind of stuff, and you need to get a permit.
Details depend on location / jurisdiction. Some Googling brought up eg https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/auto...

If that's the case then it's pretty impractical and double standard vs a human driver who needs to pull over immediately when instructed by the police or face potentially grave consequences if he doesn't immediately comply.
When I'm at the wheel, I can't just tell the cop tailing me "yeah officer, I didn't pull over when you told me to behause you should have called me on my cell to tell me that" lol.

I'm guessing the plan is that once you reach that scale there will be people in the cars?

Especially where Police is so hasty to use their cruisers as weapons[1]
