An autonomous Cruise vehicle left police confused when they tried to pull it over

Since February, GM's Cruise self-driving unit has offered public taxi rides in San Francisco. And for the most part, it seems the service hasn't run into any notable problems. That is until a strange situation played out last weekend when one of the company's vehicles left police seemingly confused by its response to a routine traffic stop. The video you see above was first posted on April 2nd but only began to circulate widely after 9to5 publisher Seth Weintraub shared it on his personal Twitter account on Saturday. It shows San Francisco police attempting to pull over a driverless Cruise vehicle in the city's Richmond District, only for the car to temporarily take off as a group of onlookers watch the scene in disbelief.
