California Cops Left Scratching Their Heads After Self-Driving Car Breaks the Law: ‘A Ticket Couldn’t Be Issued’

Police stopped a driverless Waymo car that made an illegal maneuver in San Bruno, California.

The two officers were on patrol when they saw the vehicle bust an illegal U-turn at a traffic light, according to a San Bruno Police Department Facebook post on Sept. 27.

“That’s right … no driver, no hands, no clue,” the Sept. 27 post read.

It was a new experience for the officers, who contacted Waymo about the “glitch.”

“Since there was no human driver, a ticket couldn’t be issued (our citation books don’t have a box for ‘robot’). Hopefully the reprogramming will keep it from making any more illegal moves,” the post read.
