In our unenvied contemporaneity, it's apparently completely normal to watch police officers try to pull over autonomous cars for seemingly not having their front lights on.

In an Instagram video posted on April 2, a group of San Francisco police officers are seen stopping an autonomous vehicle operated by Cruise and scrambling to open its doors. The video then shows the car driving off and parking some 30 meters ahead.
