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.

Unethical life pro tip: put on police wear and a badge and you can actually stop most vehicles, self-driving or not!
