Driverless cars cant get traffic tickets in California, no matter how badly they drive.
If youre a human being driving around in California, you have to follow the rules of the road.
Apparently, robots dont.
However, officers can only give tickets for issues related to mechanical or registration violations.
But in California, law enforcement can only give moving violations to the person operating the vehicle.
Waymo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cruise declined to comment.
That seems like forward-thinking, given the recent robot driving records.
Cruise was the worst offender.
California officials later said thatCruise lied to the governmentabout the severity of the accidents.
Fortunately for you and your children,Cruise pulled all of its driverless cars off the roadsnationwide shortly thereafter.
Waymo, however, still has its robot cars on the streets.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
