Driverless car avoids ticket for illegal U-turn

A vehicle that made an illegal U -turn on the road refrained from being fined for being a driverless. The police in California stopped the Waymo car after completing the maneuver of the authorities in the traffic light. However, San Bruno Police Department: “A ticket can not be given because there is no human driver.” He said. The officers said they could not book a “robot”, so the ticket was not given.

Police Department, “no driver, no hand, no clue,” and the event is a “land twist” added. After the U -turn, the police officers polished their lights and stole a siren to stop the car, which immediately retreated. The authorities later managed to communicate with one of Waymo using the technology in the car.

Police Department, the vehicle “re -programming” will prevent more illegal moves in the future, he said.

Legislation is also prepared to allow the authorities directly to provide notification and tickets to companies.

The state governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that allows civil servants to publish a “dispute notification” if a driverless car violated the traffic laws last year. However, the law does not come into force until July next year.

The law will also require companies to establish a direct emergency telephone line for those who first answers.

The car manufacturer Waymo said that he was “looking at the situation” and “ongoing learning and experience” would strengthen the safety of the vehicle.

Waymo Cars was launched as a project under Google’s X research laboratory ten years ago. The vehicle works through external cameras and sensors.

Earlier this year, the company had a major software problem, which led to recall more than 1,200 cars. Faults caused collisions with chains, doors and other fixed road barriers.

Waymo was investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after receiving 22 reports of dangerously moving and allegedly violating traffic safety regulations.
