Would it pull over if it sees the blinking lights / siren behind it?
Could you spoof it with a bunch of blinking xmas lights on the side of the road?
Actually a very interesting question - makes me wonder if driverless cars will have some law-enforcement override (some remote "pul over" switch) that's required for their usage.
One of the remaining systems not ready for prime time is vehicle communication systems for autonomous cars. Usually examples cited are vehicle-to-vehicle: turn signals, brake lights, etc. and infrastructure-to-vehicle: signs, traffic lights. Detecting the robot car was being pulled over by the cops would be in the former category, I suppose. Or maybe it would just be an auto-debit on the owners bank account.
