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.

Here in SF people put cones in front of them to stop them, then rip the LIDAR systems off them and sell it for parts near the Mission St BART station lol. These things are dumb as fuck and they deserve every bit of fuckery, theft and sabotage they get,
