Googles self driving car got pulled over for driving too slow.
"Driving too slowly? Bet humans don't get pulled over for that too often," the company wrote, ignoring the fact that the autonomous car did indeed have the legally mandated human overseer present at the time.
Google has capped the car at 25mph so that it didn't zoom scarily through city streets. It was driving too slowly -- 24 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone, according to the Mountain View Police Department.
"Like this officer," Google says, "people sometimes flag us down when they want to know more about our project."
In the end, the officer determined the car had broken no law. No harm, no foul.
"After 1.2 million miles of autonomous driving (that's the human equivalent of 90 years of driving experience), we're proud to say we've never been ticketed!" the car project posted.
