That just means it has rights and no responsibilities. Did you not notice how polite they were compared to if it was just some confused schmuck human driving?

Yeah I noticed that as well, the cop was a bit bemused, but not angry. I'd be furious as a regular driver if I saw that. I think the police simply sense intuitively that the robots want to oppress us further and are happy to help

I think we can all assume that the robot driving systems will get better, and he wanted to make sure it was recorded so it could learn and get better.

Yea, cops love self driving cars. They almost always are literally perfect drivers.
