The car did not get a ticket.
“UNABLE TO ISSUE CITATION TO COMPUTER,” say dispatch records, AZCentral writes. Arizona law does allow officers to give out tickets when a robotaxi commits a traffic violation while driving autonomously; however, officers have to give them to the company that owns the vehicle. Doing so is “not feasible,” according to a Phoenix police spokesperson quoted by trade publication Repairer Driven News earlier this year.
This should be an automatic impound of the vehicle and when the rep comes to pick it up hand them the ticket. Or you know, make the police send them a damn ticket.
If only there were laws against creating traffic hazards...
so it's just effectively legal to send out killer robotaxis, great!
Wait... Did the car actually stop for the police officer? Or did they have to basically block the car to get it to stop?
