A policeman stopped a Google unmanned vehicle for too low a speed
The development of autonomous cars are moving faster than the creation of laws designed to control their actions. Therefore, they can get into funny situations, like the one in which the Google drone was. The car was stopped by a traffic police officer for driving too slowly.
“Were you driving too slow? We bet people don't get stopped for this very often. We deliberately reduced the speed of our prototypes to 25 mph (40 km/h) for safety reasons." wrote The Google Self-Driving Car project team on the Google+ page, adding that for all the testing time, during which nearly two million kilometers were wound, the drones have never issued a fine.
The officer who stopped the car must have been very surprised. Of course, there were people inside the Google Car. But the steering wheel was not there - it is not provided by the structure at this stage, as well as the pedals. And apparently Google Car looks more like a soap box than a car.
However, the company is working to improve the design. Earlier this year, she invited California artists to create a series of paintings on the theme “my community, my neighbors.” Ten works resembling doodles (screensavers that replace the Google logo on special occasions) decorated self-driving cars.
Forum previously reported that Google's self-driving car, based on a Lexus SUV, got in the accident, as a result of which several people were injured.
