Google car pulled over for slow driving

A California police officer made a traffic stop — but wrote no ticket as the car had no driver.

The officer pulled over a Google self-driving car that was being tested on local roads on Thursday, Mountain View police said.

He noticed the car going a road-clogging 38kpm (24mph) in a 35mph zone and realised it was a Google Autonomous Vehicle. The officer stopped the car and contacted its operators to let them know it was impeding traffic. A person is required to sit behind the wheel of self-driving cars.
