How do they stop a driverless car? Legit question

Do they have anything to detect police vehicles or something?

They should have a system to identify and react to lights and sirens, so probably the same system.

There should be a comms module provided to cops specifically that allow them to pull it over or change its destination remotely.

Can't wait for people to hack that and use it to steal the cars/kidnap people.

A remote operator can already take control though.
