San Francisco officers pulled over a taxi for not having its lights on. In an unexpected turn of events, the taxi is a self-driving vehicle. While the police were trying to contact the company, the taxi seemed to have “fled” the crime scene. The car drove down a block before stopping and flashing the emergency lights. A spokesperson for the company said the car drove to the safest place to pull over for a traffic stop like it’s programmed to do. They continue to say that it was human error for the lights being off while at night. No ticket will be issued to the company. Read about this runaway taxi here!
