Police pull over a self-driving taxi for illegal U-turn, but they can’t ticket
October 4, 2025
|Manila Bulletin
Police in Northern California were understandably perplexed when they pulled over a Waymo taxi after it made an illegal U-turn, only to find no driver behind the wheel and therefore, no one to ticket.
The San Bruno Police Department wrote in now viral weekend social media posts that officers were conducting a DUI operation early Saturday morning when a self-driving Waymo made the illegal turn in front of them.
Officers stopped the vehicle, but declined to write a ticket as their "citation books don't have a box for ‘robot'."
"That's right ... no driver, no hands, no clue," read the post, which was accompanied by photos of an officer peering into the car.
