Was anyone in it? How did the car know to pull over? How was it able to find a safe spot to pull over?
This isn't a story. Google's current self driving cars are normal cars with an especially intelligent cruise control. They are at all times legally driven by a person, (s)he just might not have their hand on the wheel. Without any additional information, this is just a normal driver being pulled over.
Better headline: "Police officer stands near parked car".
Flagged. Seriously, how did this get upvoted? It is a picture of a police officer standing somewhat close to a google car. A tl;dr would be longer than the story because there is literally no text.
Yeah, someday maybe closer in the future than many think, the headline will be "driverless police car pulls over ..." - probably in a war zone.
