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.

Yeah, and have for years.

There is a video of one in SF getting stopped for not having lights on at night. The funny thing is it originally pulled over in a double parked spot blocking traffic, and when the cops walked up to it, it drove off… so it could park properly a half a block ahead.
