Everyone knows that California is like no other state. Its dealing with Waymo provides further proof. Police in San Bruno spent a recent night looking for impaired drivers. Seeing a car doing an illegal U-turn at a traffic light, they stopped the car, only to discover an empty driver's seat. "No driver, no hands, no clue," the department wrote in a social media post. Officers contacted representatives at Alphabet/Google, the parent company of Waymo, which operates fleets of self-driving taxis. But no citation was issued. Current California law does not allow moving or DUI violations to be written against driverless cars, since there is no human behind the wheel to hold accountable. "Our citation books don't have a box for ‘robot,'" the department noted.
