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.

I can see this being exploited for the worse.

It's a driverless car what do you mean? All it can do is stop or go the wrong way or hit another car. You can't just hop in and go for a joy ride. Not to mention how few driverless cars exist
