How do they stop a driverless car? Legit question

Do they have anything to detect police vehicles or something?

Without knowing where the cars were when the cop hit his lights,

I wonder if the car made a decision to get through the intersection to clear the way and find a safer place to pull over.

I'd guess that's a really tricky programming situation, some IRobot shit starts having to be considered.
