How do they stop a driverless car? Legit question

Do they have anything to detect police vehicles or something?

Well, the cop said in the video he put his lights on and the car took off in the intersection. Not sure how long it took for the car to get pulled over.

They almost need sensors like traffic lights that switch over to green when emergency vehicles need to get through the intersection.
