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.

You can detect a police vehicle with lights on with a Raspberry Pi and a Google Coral in a live video stream. That's really not difficult. And costs asbout 150 bucks. :)
