haha, that would be awesome to tell the cop that you weren't driving.
When we first heard that one of Google's self-driving cars had been pulled over by cops, we thought one of its little pod-like vehicles might've been caught hammering along the highway during a sneaky one-off test of its ability to handle high speeds.
But no. It was actually stopped for going too slow. That's right, a Mountain View traffic cop this week spotted the cute little pod puttering along the street at a speed presumably not much faster than a granny walking a dog, and decided to have a word.
Facebook user Zandr Milewski, who watched the incident unfold (presumably at a snail's pace), grabbed a shot of the officer beside what looks like a cartoon cop car but is actually one of Google's self-driving motors (incidentally, that dome on top contains some of the car's all-important sensors).
