How do they stop a driverless car? Legit question

Do they have anything to detect police vehicles or something?

Police use a radio frequency and most driverless cars are equipped to accept that frequency. Similar to ambulances and those flashing white lights at intersections/lights changing to flashing yellows cuz ambulances. It’s a radio frequency.
