Self-driving car pulled over for going too slowly
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — A car built by Google that drives itself around city streets had a brush with the law for driving too slowly.
A police officer in the tech giant’s Silicon Valley hometown pulled over the prototype car Thursday because it was going 24 mph in a 35 mph zone.
The officer spoke with the person in the driver’s seat but issued no citation, according to the Mountain View Police Department. Though the car was driving itself, state law requires a person to be able to intervene when the technology is tested on public roads.
