A video of a driverless car being pulled over by police in San Francisco has been watched more than 1.2 million times.
B.rad916 posted a clip on Instagram of a self-driving car belonging to General Motors’ Cruise line interacting with San Francisco Police Department officers. They were trying to stop the vehicle driving down in the Richmond District for failing to have its headlights on, GM revealed.
In the video, an SFPD officer gets out of the police car and a voice can be heard saying “Ain’t nobody in it.” The officer looks inside the car and tries to open the driver’s door, but walks away from the vehicle when that remains locked.
The driverless car then immediately drives on for a few feet before turning on its yellow lights and stopping on the right-hand side of the road. The police vehicle follows suit and two officers approach the car.
Many social media users have identified that move as an attempted escape from the driverless car, but a Cruise spokesperson told The Verge that the vehicle was just looking for a safer location to stop.
