Waymo Pulled Its Cars From the Freeway After One Fled Police With Horrified Couple on Board

4. What? The programs can't recognize the flashing lights of a police car behind the car and pull over?

Like the LAW says it has to?
And then recognize that the vehicle with the flashing lights is either still behind it and that it must therefore stay stationary and release the locks for any passengers, or recognize that those flashing lights have now passed it, and it needs to re-evaluate the safety of pulling out again into the traffic?
Are the people who programmed these things completely unaware of the law?
How incompetent are the programmers????
What kind of script kiddie does this????
Stopping is a part of driving!
Trying to escape by speeding? NEVER good!
Read the f'ing drivers handbook, as well as the entire California Vehicular Code and understand them, then program ALL of those requirements and clarifications into a TEST vehicle whose prime directives include "STOP if the decision is too complicated and call for immediate assistance", plus Asimov's three laws of robotics.
