Google’s self-driving auto pulled over for going too slowly
However, there was a passenger in the auto-driven vehicle and the cop enquired how the Google car was selecting speeds at specific roads.
An accident report recently filed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles described a Google automated auto as “over-cautious”.
The problem is that no one is sure what that proof looks like.
A vehicle built by Google that drives itself around city streets has had a brush with the law for driving too slowly.
The DMV also is exasperated. “Driving too slowly? Bet humans don´t get pulled over for that too often”, Google commented on the issue.
The officer spoke with the person in the driver’s seat but issued no citation, according to the Mountain View Police Department.
When Google came to know about the incident, the auto project pleaded guilty to slow driving and mentioned in the post, “We’ve capped the speed of our prototype vehicles at 25 miles per hour for safety reasons”.
The police department’s website says an officer “noticed traffic backing up behind a slow-moving auto in the eastbound lane”.
Google self-driving auto was pulled over by a police officer with the intention of giving the driver a ticket. The officer sent the auto on its way with a warning not to impede the flow of traffic.
“We want them to feel friendly and approachable, rather than zooming scarily through neighborhood streets”, Google said of the speed cap on it driverless cars. Google has said all the collisions were minor, were not caused by its cars, and happened over 2.2 million miles of testing, including almost 1.3 million miles in self-driving mode. The blog said that the cars – outfitted with high-tech sensors and computing power – have never received a ticket so far.
