Google Self-Driving Car Just Got Pulled Over By The Cops For Driving Too Slow

We would have loved to see the dash cam footage of this traffic cop's reaction as he pulls over a little white car on one of his rounds only to discover that... it has no driver! Maybe this officer forgot that Google's self-driving cars are being tested on the roads of Mountain View. Apparently, he pulled over the vehicle because it was going too slow. Google took the whole incident in stride. A photo of the enounter even showed up on the Internet. The Google Self-Driving Car Project shared the snapshot on a Google+ post, explaining that they capped the speed limit of their self-driving cars at only 25 mph for safety reasons. It was previously reported that the driverless cars were also being programmed to be safer around children. And although we're pretty sure that Google's parent company, Alphabet, can afford to cough up the fine for a traffic ticket, it turns out, no ticket was issued in this instance.
