The police officer identified two 'humanoids' inside the vehicle, describing them as friendlywww.carscoops.com

After connecting to a support rep, the officer said: “Your car here drove into oncoming lanes of traffic.”
The self-driving car went into “opposing lanes of traffic” in a construction area, “which is real bad,” the officer explained.
A passerby then approached the pulled-over vehicle and tells the officer: “I couldn’t help but come over here just out of morbid curiosity. I thought maybe there was a passenger.”
The officer replied, “You know the construction here? It was going eastbound in the westbound lanes, which is real bad. So I light it up and it takes off in the intersection.” The officer then laughed.
The Waymo support representative then said he would review video footage of the alleged incident.
Waymo told The Independent in a statement that the driverless vehicle “encountered inconsistent construction signage and briefly entered an unoccupied oncoming lane of traffic.” The car was then “blocked from navigating back into the correct lane” for about 30 seconds.
A video making the rounds on social media shows a police officer in Phoenix, Arizona pulling over a vehicle after it drove down a busy road in the opposing lane.
But as the body cam footage, which was shared by AZCentral last week, quickly reveals, there's no human driver behind the wheel. It's a driverless taxi operated by self-driving car company Waymo — leading to an unusual and incredibly awkward interaction.
"There's no driver," the officer told dispatch over his radio. "Hi!" he added cheerfully once the window was automatically rolled down.
"Connected to rider support," a robotic voice answered unperturbed. "This call may be recorded for quality assurance."
"So your car here drove into oncoming lanes of traffic," the cop told the Waymo support team member.
"Okay, I will go ahead and take a look at that right now," the disembodied voice replied.
The police officer hits their lights, pulling over the vehicle in front of them, walks up to the driver's window, and ... there's no one inside.
It prompts a question that can only be asked in the handful of U.S. cities that allow autonomous vehicles: What happens when an officer stops a car and there's no driver?
That question, accompanied by a photograph of a Waymo autonomous vehicle that had been pulled over in central Phoenix on June 19, was posted on the social media website Reddit last month. Phoenix police and Waymo officials confirmed the vehicle was driving in an oncoming traffic lane near Seventh Avenue and Osborn Road. There was no passenger, and no other cars involved.
Here's what happened in Phoenix, and what you need to know.
Did you know how—Nobody’s home: Phoenix cop left talking to customer support after pulling over driverless taxi.
Antipasto, what did pasto do to them? Just use your noodle. Could be a Linguiniest.The old ways are best….so, wolfsbane does what to the LIDAR?
I know garlic overloads the catalytic converter…
“Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers at night
may become a road rager when
the slow-poke/straggler looms
and makes him miss the light.”
Say it with me now—“antipasto”
“An old Tesla, including the cost of delivery, will be nearly $10,000. And you can turn that into 12 batteries, and also sell the parts,” he said. He named his brand Ukrainian Autonomous Systems.Each system thus produced has a capacity of 5 kilowatt hours, enough to run the lights and electrical equipment — but not energy-hungry electric heating — in a normal Kyiv apartment for 10 hours. Some he sells without a margin to the army, but most of his customers are civilians. Demand has gone from near zero to sky high in the past two months, and Bentsa expects it to rise as winter approaches.
