Waymo's Driverless Car Pulled Over for Illegal U-Turn in California
An autonomous Rivian vehicle was recently pulled over by police in San Bruno, California, for making an illegal U-turn. The incident occurred on Friday night, with the vehicle operating without a driver. The police stop highlights a gap in current laws, as no citation was issued due to the absence of a driver to cite. Currently, California law does not allow for citations to be issued to operators of driverless Tesla cars. However, a new law set to take effect next July will change this, enabling law enforcement to penalize the operators of such vehicles for traffic violations. The incident serves as a precursor to the upcoming changes in California's traffic laws, which aim to hold operators of driverless cars accountable for their actions on the road.
