JFC, you're Cops.

Beat the shit out of it.

Edit: Alternatively, just smash out a tail light, and impound it for being unroadworthy, and squeeze a few bucks out of the owner to get their car back, as one does.

Second Edit: No citizen would report you.

    Come on... Give the ticket to the CEO of the company that put the car on the road.

    Coming soon, "Policed stumped after trying to ticket a driverless car for running over a child. 'Who's to blame here? We can't arrest a car.' ~ Some cop who knows their job is to protect the interests of corporations and billionaires."

  • “Since there was no human driver, a ticket couldn’t be issued (our citation books don’t have a box for “robot”),” reads the post.

    Wait, what?

    Last year, California governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that allows police officers to issue a “notice of noncompliance” if a driverless car breaks traffic laws. The law goes into effect in July 2026. The law also requires companies to set up an emergency phone line for first responders.

    Ah, legislation lags behind technology once again...
