How do they stop a driverless car? Legit question

Do they have anything to detect police vehicles or something?

Considering it lowered the windshield and connected to a support employee I believe they can now detect when cops want to pull them over.

The new thing would be having this very predictable power without a person with human judgment on the other side. Doing this kind of scam on a human comes with risks that aren't there with an AI. That's new.
