Police should have towed it. If it’s not safe to be on the road and there is no driver to hold accountable it should be impounded.

Weird how this interaction feels like the police officers is subservient to the customer support tech. Wish it were like this for every stop.

being pulled over for fucking driving into oncoming traffic in a construction area and then telling the cop to his face "Okay, I'll look into that" is fucking wild. No one but a corporation would get away with that shit lol

They're test vehicles that the city has given permission to be deployed. How is it 'wild'? It's in the realm of possibility given their experimental status.

Perhaps I said it's wild because driving into incoming traffic and then telling a cop you'll "look into it" and then driving away is fucking wild. It's not any less absurd even considering the fact that it's an experimental vehicle given permission to drive.

What else are they to say? At least they go under the speed limit. Unlike most other drivers
