Driverless cars tease an exciting future. However, getting there will lead to some interesting situations until all the bugs are worked out. A video posted to Instagram earlier this month that went viral over the weekend captured such occurrence when San Francisco police attempted to pull over a Chevy Bolt that didn’t have its headlights on. However, the Bolt was a self-driving vehicle from Cruise, and it didn’t have a driver behind the wheel.
The video shows the Bolt yielding to the cruiser, which stops behind it. An officer gets out and peers into the Bolt’s window before pulling on the handle. The door doesn’t open, and the officer begins walking back to the cruiser, but then the Bolt pulls away. It drives through the intersection before pulling off to the side of the road and engaging the flashing hazard lights. The officers pull up back behind it.
