This is something you probably didn't consider: self-driving Waymo cars can get pulled over by police.In fact, it happened last month in Phoenix, and it was caught on body camera. It's not every day you see a Phoenix Police officer pulling over a driverless car. But, that's what happened on June 19 after the officer observed a Waymo going haywire in traffic."I couldn't help but come over here just out of morbid curiosity.

"FOX 10 reached out to Waymo to learn more about the potential for errors while operating. In a statement, Waymo said, "Waymo cars are better drivers than humans and are three-and-a-half times more likely to avoid crashes."In the case last month involving police, Waymo says the construction signage on 7th and Osborn Road was inconsistent, and because the officer blocked the car, it had to impede oncoming traffic. The whole ordeal only lasted a minute.
