And it happened on April Fool's Day (via TooFab)
The video shows an SFPD patrol car pulling over a Chevy Bolt for driving without its headlights on. But as the officer approaches the would-be-driver's side window, presumably to scold the driver, he discovers to his surprise — there isn't one.
As the confused cop tries to figure out what to do, trying and failing to open the door, he begins to make his way back to his patrol car — when the phantom suspect suddenly makes a break for it. The autonomous car can be seen fleeing the scene, a move that would have landed the driver — were there one — in big trouble.But according to the operators Cruise, the robot car was simply looking for a safe place to pull in; indeed, as the video shows, the Bolt gives up its surprise head start on the cops, activating its hazard lights and stopping a short distance up the street.
"The vehicle yielded to the police car, then pulled over to the nearest safe location for the traffic stop," company spokesman Aaron Mclear told"An officer contacted Cruise personnel and no citation was issued. We work closely with the SFPD on how to interact with our vehicles and have a dedicated phone number for them to call in situations like this."
