California police struggle to ticket driverless Waymo for traffic violations
TL;DR Summary
A Waymo autonomous vehicle was pulled over in California for making an illegal U-turn, but police couldn't issue a ticket because the car had no human driver, highlighting legal gaps in autonomous vehicle regulation. New legislation aims to address this issue, but critics argue it is insufficient, reflecting ongoing debates about self-driving car oversight and safety.
