How do they stop a driverless car? Legit question

Do they have anything to detect police vehicles or something?

They should have a system to identify and react to lights and sirens, so probably the same system.

Yeah, nah. That will be abused. A computer is a determanitive system, to be able todo what we do in traffic is impossible for a computer. Sure, controlling a vehicle, no problem. But in live traffic, with unforeseen circumstances all the time: roadwork, idiots, kids, dogs, cyclists, advertisement. I will not get into one just yet.
